Hi thegeezer, Hi Joost, it was that simple, that I *had* to overlooked it: The modules for ethernet over usb had to be loaded before using that interface... WUMMER! Sometimes..... :) I added the following modules: usb_f_rndis u_ether usb_f_ecm usb_f_ecm_subset usb_f_eem g_ether at91_udc atmel_usba_udc libcomposite and I am not sure, whether some of them are not necassary for that purpose...but with this in /etc/conf.d/modules it works. Current status is: * Board boots with Robert Nelsons linux kernel for ARM and a device tree blob by acmesystems and a stage3 rootfs (armv5tel) by the one and only Gentoo. * The board is accessible via ssh * I am currently downloading (emerge -f) some applications I need, compiling on this board is an exercise in patience... 8). After the download the board can compile the stuff without using my PC as router to the internet. So it does not harm to power the board with 100mA over several days... Best regards, Meino
