Static IP on BeagleBoard -XM

[lharmon]

I am unable to setup a static IP address for my BeagleBoard -xM.

I tried editing the /etc/network.d/Ethernet-eth0 as follows:



#CONNECTION='ethernet'
#DESCRIPTION='A basic dhcp ethernet connection using iproute'
#INTERFACE='eth0'
#IP='dhcp'
## for DHCPv6
#IP6='dhcp'
## for IPv6 autoconfiguration
#IP6='stateless'


## Change for static
CONNECTION='ethernet'
#DESCRIPTION='A basic static ethernet connection using iproute'
INTERFACE='eth0'
IP='static'
ADDR='172.22.2.241'
##ROUTES=('192.168.0.0/24 via 192.168.1.2')
GATEWAY='172.22.1.10'
DNS=('172.22.3.10')

After rebooting I see:

[ OK ] Started Login Service.

Does anyone have static IPs working on the BeagleBoard?

You'll want to copy in and modify the ethernet-static file from the examples folder.
