Gadget mode with 2.6.27/8

Hello,

had anyone success using the BB as an ethernet gadget with kernel
2.6.27/8? I tried it but:

ifconfig usb0 172.16.0.15 netmask 255.255.255.0 - ifconfig:
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device

Bye - Robert

With a little bit .config-tweaking:

root@beagleboard:~# ifconfig usb0 172.16.0.2 netmask 255.255.0.0
root@beagleboard:~# ifconfig
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
    ...
usb0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr C6:7E:81:E8:4C:A9
          inet addr:172.16.0.2 Bcast:172.16.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

But windows does not recognise the new device (its working with TI's
2.6.22 so its not a cable issue).

It seems to be a windows issue. It says that it cannot start the
device (code 10)

:frowning:

solved the problem. Koen, can you add this fix to the "OE-kernel"?
