Subject: [Balloon] Using the USB as a network.
I finally see the Balloon board in my usb list (lsusb on my host pc).
However, the USB networking doesn't work. I'm using SUSE 9.1 professional on
my workstation, since it is the only distribution that recognizes both my
graphics card and my network. (Debian did not recognize either.)
SUSE has a template available to make the ifcfg-xx file located
in /etc/sysconfig/network. I modified this on my PC with the following
parameters:

BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR= 10.1.1.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
STARTMODE=hotplug

When I reboot my PC, I get the following message to show up:
"Interface USB0 is not available".

What do I do?
