tethering displays 'sit0' interface
When I booted into my newly installed Gentoo system and tried tethering the android device to the computer, I noticed that
Code:
ifconfig -a It should have displayed usb0. What should I do? |
I am not sure what are you trying to do. Are you wanting to attach the android toy to your pc using an usb cable or what? I don't know much about android yet, besides it's linux and they use it in mobile phones.
sitN are point-to-point tunnel interfaces, used mostly for encapsulating ipv6 traffic into ipv4. |

That is the method how I installed Gentoo in the first place. I booted up live CD, connected the device using USB cable and enabled tethering. Then Code:
ifconfig -a Code:
dhcpcd usb0 As I am not able to get the usb0 interface, instead I get [b]sit0[/code]. So there must be something missing from my newly installed system (I think). Is this much information sufficient? |

In any case, you should double check that you have actually selected the relevant options in your kernel. I just found this, which might come in handy for you: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-843255.html |
Finally, Problem solved. The following posts helped me solve the problem. I am not sure which combination of configuration options did the job, since I enabled them all. For future reference, if anyone reads this post, I recommend following links (Necessarily go through ALL THE POSTS in a single topic)
