Hi,

I want to disable the USB Ethernet. I don’t need it and it’s interfering with something I am trying to do. Running Debian Wheezy 7.1. Thanks.

Which board is this on?

Did I post in the wrong forum? It’s the black.

Thanks,

This forum covers all of them, BeagleBoard, BeagleBoard-xM, BeagleBone, and BeagleBone Black.

So why not just not plug it in? Just power the board over DC.

If that is not possible. then I will defer to the SW experts on how to shut that gadget down.

The USB cable is not plugged in. I am powering it thru the DC jack. It still comes up with a valid IP. I’m trying to run Open Lighting Architecture and I have a script that restarts it if it doesn’t have Ethernet. But it’s binding to the USB Ethernet.

The Ethernet on the board is not USB based so I have no idea where that is coming from unless it is always there just in case,.

There was always USB0 on the Armstrong image also.

I got rid of the USB0 entry in /etc/network/interfaces, but it still shows up somehow.

Depends on which Debian distro you have but have a look if you have scripts in /opt/boot-scripts/

From the fat partition, just remove the file "run_boot-scripts", and
everything specific to the beaglebone image will be disabled...

The "setup_sdcard.sh" script has a warning/note about this, but no one
reads all the stuff..

Sweet! That worked. Thanks Robert.
