SSH into Freerunner

Based on reading the wiki, it seems as though it does not like it if
your LAN is in the same range (i.e. also uses 192.168.0.*)

This is for Windows, but I think the same might apply for Linux as well:
I read here
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo1973_and_Windows#Option_1.2C_using_Windows_ICS
that you should disconnect your host from your LAN, so that its DHCP
server does not interfere.  With that you should be able to ssh into
the FreeRunner.

Once you do this, you can change the /etc/network/interfaces file on
the FreeRunner (I think you have to use the vi editor).
In the file, set for usb0

  address 192.168.2.202
  netmask 255.255.255.0
  network 192.168.2.0
  gateway 192.168.2.1

Or you can set number to whatever you want.
