Everybody saying that it's right, but nobody explaining how to use it..
the problem is that it's not so simple to write an udev interface renaming
rule because i don't know which interface udev will assign to the neo.. for
example when i connect it i get eth1, suddenly renamed to eth7 by udev, but
am i sure it will always get eth7?
The page http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/USB_Networking explain how to setup
nat and routing, but all the examples use usb0. The problem is that each
different udev installation will assign a possibly different interface name
to the neo, so what should one do? setup nat and routing for all the
interfaces being attached? seems strange.. I just would like to see an
example, because it's not clear to me, and i think for many like me..
