Could anyone please tell me about the steps to setup the USB-ethernet connection?

I am using Ver B5 and the root file system is on my SD second partition. I am using console_image.
I cannot find any document about setting the ethernet on page http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/wiki. Could you please point me to a link.
Highly Appreciate.

Best regards,

Boot up the board

In the board console type ifconfig usb0 [ip of the board] netmask 255.255.255.0 up

In the host type ifconfig [ip of the host] netmask 255.255.255.0 up

That’s all

Thanks Hieu,

Should I do this in U-Boot or after Boot Armstrong? As I understand this solution will set a static IP for BeagleBoard right? How should I do if I want to acquire a dynamic IP?

I am not sure what to do because in some questions about this same topic, some people talk about they have to load a module and in the setenv bootargs they have some setting about DHCP but because they use NFS so I guess this method is only used for NFS right?
