Test usb-ethernet on windows #154

Open lucasdemarchi opened 7 years ago

lucasdemarchi commented 7 years ago

Our ethernet over USB is very reliable for me now on master-next. Aero is configured to give an IP in the 192.168.7.10 - 192.168.7.30. This needs to be tested on Windows and instructions written (can be on this issue) of what needs to be done. Just getting an IP is sufficient.

It worked for me on windows 8 after installing cdc drivers for BBB. Strangely it continued to work after I uninstalled those. Windows 10 without additional drivers... it didn't work. @guermonprez can you help here?

I don't have a "naive" windows install at my disposal: I installed tons of USB-ethernet drivers over the years so it wouldn't be a good test. For the default install procedure, I do not show this usb-ethernet method as it's hard to diagnose problems clients may face (ubuntu network manager, routing, ...). I'm using wifi to keep it simple. But it would be a good thing to have documented as a reference on the github doc.

usb-ethernet is working fine on Linux and Mac, including the local name resolution. I don't expect local name resolution to be working now for windows, but at least it should get an IP and be able to connect. That's what I was asking if you could test. If you can't that's fine.
