Hi, I'm sure I'm missing something simple, but I just built Poky from git
for beagleboard, and can't figure out USB networking. I expected to find
g_cdc and g_ether modules in
/lib/modules/3.0.18-yocto-standard+/kernel/drivers/usb, but that directory
doesn't actually exist (I guess the drivers are built-in to this kernel).

I have MACHINE ??= beagleboard in local.conf, and "bitbake
core-image-minimal" did produce a working kernel, uboot, etc. I see some USB
messages at boot (see below), but although cdc_ether is mentioned, ifconfig
-a lists only loopback.

Any suggestions? Thanks!
You can look at the default defconfig to see which kernel modules are
selected and also make sure the kernel modules are actually included
on core-image-minimal.

Right, it looks like CONFIG_USB_ETH is disabled in linux-beagleboard-standard-build/.config , and I think that's the key missing option. I'm so lost in Yocto's kernel configuration "architecture" that I have no idea if that's being explicitly disabled, or just omitted from the base config, or what.

It seems to me that option should be enabled if DISTRO_FEATURES contains usbgadget. More simply, it seems like a good idea to enable CONFIG_USB_ETH in the beagleboard default configuration, since many beagleboards don't have any other network interface.

Is there an owner of Yocto's beagleboard BSP stuff?
