strangely, 'ps' is not installed by default.
changed /etc/network/interfaces to bring up a usb network interface at startup in case the dhcp + serial conection is too far away..,
auto usbf
iface usbf inet static
address 10.0.0.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
to add a second layer of IP, for example when out of an environment with DHCP, or wanting to bolt everything down for a show, you can add a second interface: in /erc/network/interfaces add the lines
iface eth0:1 inet static address 192.168.0.66 netmask 255.255.255.0
then the interface can be started with
ifup eth0:1
test that it works, then add the keyword “auto” i.e.
auto eth0:1
to make it load and config automagically
