[BUG] No USB Connectivity.

[aluminum-ice]

I've not seen this as an issue. Are you sure you are connecting to the OTG port. Only one of them provides power and data lanes. The other only provides power. In every test I've done, OTG USB connectivity is available right out of the box.

Yes, the OTG data port (middle port) is being used. I assume that it's doing something, but Ubuntu doesn't like it for some reason?

By the way, I'll note that my network is 10.0.0.* 255.255.255.0 as well, maybe that is conflicting with the connection. Is there a way to force a specific IP on the device from the Micro SD directly? That may work.

Oh it might be interfering. See the original instructions here from evilsocket. I wonder if you're getting a conflict because your network matches the network pwnagotchi tries to set up locally.

I have run the linux connection script, however over time the connection drops automatically by whatever Ubuntu thinks is right, I believe being not connected to my local network may open up a window for SSH login; I think the first thing I'll try to do with it is change the default IP address on the device.. Finicky at best but now there is possibility of connecting. Will have to come back with updated progress

After messing around for a little while I came up with a working solution. This might be useful infos for other people having similar issues being on the same network config I have being 10.0.0.0/24 on my home network:

1. Disconnect from default internet connection.
2. Remove all pre-existing configurations if necessary.
3. Use the Linux connect script (on Ubuntu host machine), In my case, it was:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -e

# name of the ethernet gadget interface on the host
USB_IFACE=${1:-enxfec40b5b3a66}
USB_IFACE_IP=10.0.0.1
USB_IFACE_NET=10.0.0.0/24
# host interface to use for upstream connection
UPSTREAM_IFACE=${2:-enp4s0}

ip addr add "$USB_IFACE_IP/24" dev "$USB_IFACE"
ip link set "$USB_IFACE" up

iptables -A FORWARD -o "$UPSTREAM_IFACE" -i "$USB_IFACE" -s "$USB_IFACE_NET" -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -F POSTROUTING
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o "$UPSTREAM_IFACE" -j MASQUERADE

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
echo "The process completed successfully. Made changes to ip and iptables."

4. SSH into the device with 10.0.0.2 (or hostname.local).
5. Reconfigure the usb0 connection expecting a disconnect (at /etc/network/interfaces.d/usb0-cfg )

allow-hotplug usb0
iface usb0 inet static
  address 10.0.1.2
  netmask 255.255.255.0
  network 10.0.1.0
  broadcast 10.0.1.255
  gateway 10.0.1.1
  metric 20

sudo ifconfig usb0 10.0.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0

7. (On Ubuntu host machine):

#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -e

# name of the ethernet gadget interface on the host
USB_IFACE=${1:-enxfec40b5b3a66}
USB_IFACE_IP=10.0.1.1
USB_IFACE_NET=10.0.1.0/24
# host interface to use for upstream connection
UPSTREAM_IFACE=${2:-enp4s0}

ip addr add "$USB_IFACE_IP/24" dev "$USB_IFACE"
ip link set "$USB_IFACE" up

iptables -A FORWARD -o "$UPSTREAM_IFACE" -i "$USB_IFACE" -s "$USB_IFACE_NET" -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -F POSTROUTING
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o "$UPSTREAM_IFACE" -j MASQUERADE

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
echo "The process completed successfully. Made changes to ip and iptables."

8. Reconnect standard internet connection.

The device can now be pinged/connected while also simultaneously being connected to the internet.
