I have successfully followed the procedure outlined in the wiki for this
mobile phone.
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/USB_Networking
But I do not have a solid grasp of the recommended code.
The text mentions that "192.168.0.202" means the phone, while
"192.168.0.200" is the PC. Though why those particular numbers, I cannot
guess.
The first code line below seems to be setting up the PC end. Though I
don't know what "/24" is for.
The second code line seems to be linking this. Though I don't know what
"up" is for.
The next code line seems to specify that the host computer to be
logged-into is the phone.
And the final code line I get as logging in to the phone. Which I gather
has to be by secure means (SSH).
Please would someone here either:
* explain in plain English what is going on/required below; or
* point me to an on-line beginner's/graphical introduction to this
subject.
I feel shaky/ignorant about the commands and their arguments in the
following code lines.
I presume that all this could be automated. Though I'm not confident to try.
__________
With the device connected configure usb0 interface (as root or via sudo
like in this example):
sudo ip address add 192.168.0.200/24 dev usb0
sudo ip link set dev usb0 up
...
If your eth0 interface is also in the same 'range' (e.g. 192.168.0.105)
then you can do the following:
sudo route add -host 192.168.0.202 dev usb0
The login
Log in to the Neo (you do not need to be a root on the desktop host just
to log in).
$ ssh root at 192.168.0.202
