Here are my notes for tonight's work on usb networking. I have not done exhaustive testing. This may be useful information because it was done on gutsy.
It seems to function. ----- Neo-Networking 10-24-2007: Attempt to establish basic network connection to Neo. Running Ubuntu 7.10 (gutsy) >From the wiki: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/USB_Networking#Automatic_method Edit /etc/network/interfaces file (): auto usb0 iface usb0 inet static address 192.168.0.200 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.0.0 up iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE -s 192.168.0.0/24 & up echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward & up iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT & down iptables -D POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE -s 192.168.0.0/24 & Completed as root. Patch /etc/udev/rules.d/85-ifupdown.rules: Ubuntu feisty appears to have a bug where ifdown is not run when the interface is unplugged, meaning this only works once after the system is booted. One can patch /etc/udev/rules.d/85-ifupdown.rules, editing the two lines at the end of the file: SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", GOTO="net_start" GOTO="net_end" LABEL="net_start" # Bring devices up and down only if they're marked auto. # Use start-stop-daemon so we don't wait on dhcp ACTION=="add", RUN+="/sbin/start-stop-daemon --start --background --pidfile /var/run/network/bogus --startas /sbin/ifup -- --allow auto $env{INTERFACE}" LABEL="net_end" ACTION=="remove", RUN+="/sbin/start-stop-daemon --start --background --pidfile /var/run/network/bogus --startas /sbin/ifdown -- --allow auto $env{INTERFACE}" the bug is that the LABEL="net_end" is after the ACTION line in the distribution. I checked my gutsy file. It was wrong, so I changed it as root to the specification for feisty above. I restarted the computer.
