TL;DR on getting started on Linux?

[Packetslave]

Howdy, some very cool stuff here. Wondering if there's a quick HOWTO on getting started with Linux and the Loupedeck-CT.

On Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, I can see that the Loupedeck is being detected and appears to be getting mapped to libinput as a mouse (?). I don't see that there a network interface being created for it (no 100.127.* interfaces in ifconfig). I assume there's a tweak or two I need to make to convince the kernel that it should treat the Loupedeck as a network device?

If I can get the LD interface to come up, I can take it from there.

Thanks!

fwiw, here's the output when connecting the loupedeck to USB: https://gist.github.com/Packetslave/3a4b64f942ccede0a7b3616da4a629af

Answering my own question (after a LOT of googling). The solution was to manually modprobe cdc_ether before connecting the Loupedeck. That caused it to be detected properly and the interface created.

Just swung by to say thanks for providing the answer you found. If this project looked like it was still maintained I might have bought one of these thingamajigs and benefited from it.

Hey, there's more info about this elsewhere. I will try to find it:)
