I tried this query on linux-usb-users, with no luck... can my local linux community help, please?

I've been following the instructions at http://www.linux-usb.org/USB-guide/x555.html to set up a two-machine USB network with a Linux box at one end.

The command

ifconfig plusb0 192.168.0.1 pointopoint 192.168.0.2

fails with the error message

SIOCSIFADDR: No such device plusb0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device SIOCSIFDSTADDR: No such device plusb0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device

Afterwards,

ping 192.168.0.2

gets no response (i.e. 100% packet loss.) Any ideas how to fix this, please?

plusb is loaded as a kernel module. The kernel version is 2.2.20.

Have you compiled USB-USB Networking cable device support into your kernel? This gives you a module called usbnet, which I think you need, if you haven't got it already. Jenny.
