USB-OTG networking

[zombiepantslol]

Hello and merry x-mas!
I'm checking out Arch Linux on my new BeagleBoard but I can't get networking to work over USB-OTG. I configured the usb networking interfaces on both my host machine and on the BeagleBoard but whenever I try to send a ping, I get "Destination Host Unreachable". According to this link, I'm supposed to add "g_ether.use_eem=0" to the kernel's boot arguments, which I did. And yet, I don't get a reply from either machine.

When I open up Wireshark on my host machine and sniff on usb0, I get an "Ethernet II" frame for each ICMP packet sent from my BeagleBoard. I've been googling around for some hours but I haven't found any further clues yet.

Does anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Christian
