Hi,
What concept am I missing?
If I have my laptop connected to the computer through an
ethernet, if I switch it to a USB port, how do I have the OS pick it
up?
look in /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog for entries about the
interface at the time it gets plugged in. The best way to do this is
start a terminal and become root. Then do
tail -f /var/log/syslog
then while that is running, plug in the network device. Watch the
terminal and it should output information about the device as the udev
system detects and configures it. Then use that info to build a
/etc/network/interfaces entry for it.
It seems that I
have to have the computer installed with whatever interface that I
plan to use. Am I making any sense?
yes, you are making sense, but you do not have to install with
whatever interface you plan to use. You merely have to determine which
device it is and configure your networking to use it.
