I downloaded ubuntu-13.04-console-armhf-2013-07-22.tar.xz and succesfuly followed instructions to write in onto micro sd card. I mounted and edited /media/rootfs/etc/networks to include
auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface lo inet loopback iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.128 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.1 dns-nameservers 192.168.0.1 204.194.232.200 204.194.234.200 The sd card in BBB appears to boot properly (by looking at leds), and by turning off and on using power switch I can also successfully ping 192.168.0.128 > ping 192.168.0.128 PING 192.168.0.128 (192.168.0.128) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.0.128: icmp_req=1 ttl=64 time=0.453 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.0.128: icmp_req=2 ttl=64 time=0.180 ms However, when I run >nmap -A 192.168.0.1, I get: > nmap -A 192.168.0.128 Starting Nmap 6.00 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2013-10-05 13:23 EDT Nmap scan report for beaglebone.local (192.168.0.128) Host is up (0.0022s latency).

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.56 seconds > I've tried a number of options like in /media/rootfs/etc/rc.local (after remounting on host). adding iptables -F ufw logging on ufw allow from 192.168.0.0/24 service networking start service ssh start but none of this worked at getting port 22 open so I can ssh over ethernet (I've never been successful at ssh'ng over usb0/ethernet despite trying many times). Any suggestion on how to get port 22 open for ssh'ng by editing files when mounted on host? Or what my next best alternative might be. I am successful in BBB when ssh'ng over eth0 with an sd card that was made using ubuntu-raring-13.04-armhf-3.8.13-bone20.img.xz I need to figure out how torun compiled kernel so I can work at using the A/D driver from Zubair Lutfullah. Any suggestion or help is appreciated.
