I am using the latest Angstrom image on my beagleboard, (http://
www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard/Angstrom-Beagleboard-demo-image-glibc-ipk-2009.X-stable-20090612--beagleboard.rootfs.tar.bz2
) with the 2.6.29-r37 uImage and modules.
I have tried using both 'g_cdc' and 'g_ether' on the beagleboard, but
whenever I do 'ifup usb0' I get the message " ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP):
usb0: link is not ready". I loaded 'cdc_ether' and 'usbnet' on the
ubuntu host and still because of this error, usb0 does not show up on
the ubuntu host.
