11. Open a command prompt, type ipconfig, and press Enter. The local area
connection for the IBM USB RNDIS is displayed with an IP address in the
range of 169.254.xxx.xxx with a subnet mask set to 255.255.0.0.
Installing the LAN over USB Linux device driver
Current versions of Linux, such as RHEL5 Update 2 and SLES10 Service Pack 2,
support the LAN over USB interface by default. This interface is detected and
displayed during the installation of these operating systems. When you configure
the device, use a static IP address of 169.254.95.130 with a subnet mask of
255.255.0.0.
Note: Older Linux distributions might not detect the LAN over USB interface and
might require manual configuration.
The IMM LAN over USB interface requires that the usbnet and cdc_ether device
drivers be loaded. If the device drivers have not been installed, use the modprobe
command to install them. When these device drivers are installed, the IMM USB
network interface is shown as a network device in the operating system. To
discover the name that the operating system has assigned to the IMM USB
network interface, type:
dmesg | grep -i cdc ether
Use the ifconfig command to configure the interface to have an IP address in the
range 169.254.xxx.xxx. For example:
ifconfig IMM_device_name 169.254.1.102 netmask 255.255.0.0
This interface is configured to have an IP address in the 169.254.xxx.xxx range each
time that the operating system is started.
