Is it possible to use eth1 and usb0 at the same time?
Hi,
I've just finished setting up a basic debian disto on my handheld (loox720) and want to enhance this very basic distro by installing some useful packages. My problem is that the only way I can access my handheld is to do a 'ifconfig eth1 down' and ifconfig 'usb0 192.168.0.1 up'. Having deactivated eth1 i'm no longer connected to the internet but can on the other hand ssh to my device. Can someone help me?
Help appreciated

What do you mean by “the only way”? What happens if you don’t take down your first interface? What do the routing tables look like prior to and after bringing up your usb interface?
Hi,
Well,without bringing down eth1, i am unable to ping my device as it says 'Destination host unreachable'. If i do ifconfig usb0 192.168.0.2 i can ssh to my device (Notice: The SSH daemon on the device is automatically started). Changes is routing table after running ifconfig usb0 192.168.0.2:
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 usb0
