Hello Everyone ,

So i just started using my beaglebone.So far so good , but now i want to connect to it seamlessly by creating an ad-hoc network between the beaglebone and my macbook.The beaglebone runs on debian distribution and i tried using wicd-curses.It has an option of creating an ad-hoc network but that doesn’t seem to work.

try <screen /dev/tty.usbmodemfd123 115200 >
tty.usbmodemfd123 might be different for you so so a <ls /dev>
and try all the tty.usbmodem variations that exist.
bbb login : root
Once you login to the bbb, do a <udhcpc -i usb0>
(Do a apt-get udhcpc the first time )
It allows you to share your mac’s internet with the bbb. (allow internet sharing in settings).
On my mac, screen erases the commands not on the screen and acts weird when I type a 2 line command. So I do a <ifconfig -a> and ssh into the bbb’s new ip and use that.

Hi Rekha ,

Thanks for the reply.I tried doing as you said , here are the problems i faced:

  1. the <screen /dev/tty.usbmodemfd123 115200> command for all my usbmodem variations is showing that the resource is busy and terminating.
    2.Next problem was that i tried doing the apt-get udhcpc ,nut is shows as an invalid operation.

Thanks you for the help/
