Did it ever get figured out how to make a network via USB? That is, I’d use a USB hub to lash up several (BBBs which I have passel of) as a single subnet. This is in lieu of either a real Enet or wifi subnet. It seems the formula has to do with who (BBB or PC) owns the DHCP server and feels like a gateway. Where is that stuff configured on the BBB side. I might leave 1 BBB doing that, and config the others to be clients. I never figured out how to configure the PC side, but maybe that isn’t an issue. For example, I don’t expect to get the PC to do routing for the USB subnet out to the bigwideworld. Getting a BBB with WiFi also to do routing might be a worth while follow on exercise.
