Network interface

Apr 05, 2016, 11:41 AM

I tried to create a usb0 interface by entering in the /etc/network/interfaces file these lines:

iface usb0 inet static
address 192.168.0.1
netmask 255.255.255.0

It did not work. Can you please tell me why it failed?

Unless usb0 is an actual working network interface, it wouldn't be recognized as valid.

What does ifconfig and iwconfig show?
