USBC Port as Ethernet interface
-
Hi,
I am trying to configure the USBC port as an ethernet interface - I know the ADB daemon runs on this device by default, but it can be stopped. The network manager seems to be a little unorthodox on the m0054. I was wondering what file needs to be edited to make such a configuration. Usually it would be using the /etc/network/interfaces file - but there is no such file.
According to journalctl - the interfaces are brought up by the kernel and then assigned names and addresses by the dhcpcd daemon. It would be nice to modify the bond0 or dummy0 interfaces - or even a different name to use the usbC port as ethernet. If you have any thoughts or ideas I would appreciate them! Thanks.

@mrawding I'm a bit confused by your question. USB and Ethernet are two completely different things. Do you mean that you want to use the USB as an Ethernet-like interface using RNDIS or CDC Ether? What are you attaching to it?

Sorry I should have been more clear - I would like to enable USB/Ethernet Tethering on the device - where the USBC port would behave like an ethernet interface on the m0054. Since it doesn't have a wifi card I need have a network interface that can communicate with a host/development computer.

@mrawding We have not tried that method yet. We will typically use either a WiFi dongle or a USB Ethernet dongle to connect to the network.

Okay thanks for clearing that up - do you have any hardware recommendations for either wifi dongle or usb-to-ethernet ?

@mrawding I've been using a Ugreen USB 2.0 dongle and it works well: https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Ethernet-Adapter-Nintendo-Chromebook/dp/B00MYT481C/ref=asc_df_B00MYT481C/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312230144603&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=13345666694545287075&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031293&hvtargid=pla-406645188215&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=70600012068&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=312230144603&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=13345666694545287075&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031293&hvtargid=pla-406645188215.
