To be precise, this patch works with Beagleboard-xM only. Beagleboard xM has one Ethernet port connected over USB, and the driver model makes it usable as a normal network device on device node, usb0. (Ethernet support for USB )
That is the reason why "usb0" is here.
is this fatal for beagle C4? maybe we can make this gracefully fail and if you plug in a USBNET device it starts working?
hi Alexander,
For Beagleboard C4, file init.omap3.sh _could_ be the same once you already set up USB networking in host side. However, it is hard to assume every desktop host provides DHCP server.
Instead, people might expect to configure usbnet IP address manually. I think there is no technical problem of Jeremy's patch, and I just care about the usability.
