I'm seeing the same behavior on a newer 4.14 kernel beaglebone image. If the Beaglebone is already booted up and connected to a Chromebook, then the USB device will properly be assigned the 192.168.7.1 address. If the Beaglebone is powered over USB, though, the Chromebook seems to not see a network device when it's immediately plugged in, as it hasn't had time to boot, and never checks again. I can switch the Beaglebone board over to a 5V power supply, unplug the USB, replug it in and the Chromebook is able to connect without issue. This seems like a Chromebook issue to me, but does anyone have any suggestions for how to fix this?
