Losing USB ethernet connection

mangOH Yellow
1

When I reboot my mangOH yellow I am able to briefly see 192.168.2.2 however after about 15secs it disappears.

My dev machine is Ubuntu 18.04, if i watch the network connections I can see it switch from “Usb Ethernet” to “Mobile Broadband”, when it switches to the later is when I lose connection to the device.

Running configECM off/on results in the same behavior, i can ping the board for a brief moment and eventually stops.

Currently i have a fresh install of R13 and a clean user1 partition.

Seems there is no ip address for enp8s0f1u4i19 which was the usb ecm interface.

You can set it up manually in pc by:

sudo ifconfig enp8s0f1u4i19 192.168.2.3

Also you might need to shut down firewall on module by:

iptables -I INPUT -j ACCEPT

Thanks @jyijyi,

Looking deeper in the forums I see some people have had a similar issue when working on ubuntu machines (non VM).

that is why i suggest you manually set the IP address.

Remove modemmanager from Ubuntu:

 sudo apt remove modemmanager
