Lost eth0 interface

Hi,

i flashed the TX1 with theJetPack-L4T-2.3-linux-x64.sh and now i do net have a eth0 network interface anymore. I get the Ethernet interface as enxMACADDRESS.

Shouldn’t udev name it eth0?

I’m using R24.2 (manually installed without JetPack, which I think is the same as what JetPack 2.3 installs) and this produces eth0 (so you are correct that it would be odd to see “enx” instead of “eth” for this particular “flavor” of Linux). What is the complete list of devices showing up under ifconfig? Can you paste the full ifconfig output (especially the “enx” entry)? Also perhaps the output of “route”?

hmmm. i need to dig deeper into that. the renaming from the0 to enxMACADDRESS is strange.

edit:

forget the route output requested:

i think something might be wrong with my rootfs. will try to redownload it and see what happens when flashing the newly downloaded roofs

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y

the interface is named eth0 again properly.
