Hi @misc, I have a Beagleboard-xM with Ansgtrom Linux and a PC running OpenBSD 4.8, AMD64 version. My PC is connected via TP-Link wifi to household router (my otus0 internet address for this connection is 192.168.1.101). The beagleboard is connected to the PC via ethernet. On the Beagle I configured the ethernet device (which shows up as usb0 on Angstrom):
# ifconfig usb0 inet 192.168.10.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 # route add default gw 192.168.10.12 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev usb0 Also, in /etc/resolv.conf I added nameservers 203.12.160.35 & 203.12.160.36 On the OpenBSD PC I created a bridge: # ifconfig nfe0 inet 192.168.10.12 netmask 255.255.255.0 # ifconfig bridge0 create In /etc/hostname.nfe0 is the single word: up In /etc/hostname.otus0 is the single word: up In /etc/bridgename.bridge0 is: add nfe0 add otus0 up In /etc/sysctl.conf I uncommented: net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 I have also tried uncommenting net.inet6.ip6.mforwarding=1 but it did not help. I can ping 192.168.10.12 from the Beagle, and 192.168.10.10 from the PC, but I cannot ping 192.168.1.101 (the PC's wifi connection from the Beagle, "network is unreachable"). The first time I set this up (a few days ago), I could ping the outside world from the Beagle running Angstrom. I loaded Ubuntu onto the Beagle tried the setup again, and could not reach the outside internet. Now I've gone back to Angstrom and cannot get the connection to come back up. I am not sure why it worked before and not now but it seems like my OpenBSD bridge0 is not working. When it was working, typing ifconfig (as below) I seem to remember the output for bridge0 was longer than it is now, but am not sure. Probably it is some simple forgotten command but I do not know what it could be. Thanks for any help! Brett.
