Re: [beagleboard] OSX el Capitan breaks HoRNDIS?
Hey Heath, I am running 10.11.1 on one laptop, and 10.11.2 on another laptop. I connected my BBB via USB, installed the drivers, attempted to SSH and was unable to connect. I also tried connecting via ethernet and using an external power supply, but for some reason I was not able to connect that way either. >From your message it looks like you were able to get it to work on 10.11.1? Are you able to SSH via network over USB now? If all else fails, I have a WiFi dongle coming in the mail today that I am going to try...
