Installed Ubuntu (+ desktop) on BBB
`
root@ubuntu-armhf:~# uname -a
Linux ubuntu-armhf 3.8.13-bone30 #1 SMP Thu Nov 14 11:19:20 UTC 2013 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux
`
Installed Linux Driver for Netis WF2190 (my wireless dongle connected to the BBB)
I am able to connect to my wireless network. Now I am trying to share this connection with the BBB ethernet port. I succeeded with a PC + Ubuntu, so I am now trying to do the same using the BeagleBone.
I have tried the usual way using the GUI, Edit Connection and select “Shared to other computers”. At this stage I’d be expecting the eth0 port to acquire the 10.42.0.1 … it never does on the BeagleBone Black.
wlan0 is well connected to the Internet, eth0 never gets an IP.

I have tried
root@ubuntu-armhf:~# ifdown eth0 <==== OK root@ubuntu-armhf:~# ifup eth0 <==== HANGS FOREVER
I have a ethernet cable plugged from BBB to a PC with Debian.
Ethernet port on the Debian PC is on DHCP, is should acquire an IP 10.42.0.x .
Again this setup worked with 2 PCs, Only trying to do it with BBB.

Also I don’t understand what is this eth0:avahi, it seems to show up at times.
Any suggestions / tips to troubleshoot/fix this?
