Does anyone know how to change usb1 static IP from 192.168.6.2 to say 192.168.6.5?

Linux beaglebone 4.4.110-ti-r144 #1 SMP Wed Jan 24 03:00:14 UTC 2018 armv7l GNU/Linux

I’m using connmanctl for eth0, not sure if it can be used for usb1

Here is the /etc/connman/main.conf

[General]
PreferredTechnologies=ethernet,wifi
SingleConnectedTechnology=false
AllowHostnameUpdates=false
PersistentTetheringMode=true
NetworkInterfaceBlacklist=SoftAp0,usb0,usb1

usb0 and usb1 are blacklisted so I should be able to change them with /etc/network/interfaces

I can change usb0 fine using

# usb0
iface usb0 inet static
address 192.168.7.5
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.7.0
gateway 192.168.7.1

But this doesn’t work?

# usb0
iface usb0 inet static
address 192.168.7.5
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.7.0
gateway 192.168.7.1

# usb1
iface usb1 inet static
address 192.168.6.5
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.6.0
gateway 192.168.6.1

see:

/opt/scripts/boot/autoconfigure_usb1.sh

/sbin/ifconfig usb1 192.168.6.2 netmask 255.255.255.252 || true

We didn't care to make it auto-configurable, Windows users never see
it, Linux users see both, so only MacOSX users see it by default..
