A Cisco/Linksys USB300M will install as eth0.  The drivers for this device are in the kernel apparently.

&lt;pre&gt;
netcfg eth0 dhcp
setprop net.dns1 &lt;dns server ip&gt; 
&lt;/pre&gt;

From the following link [http://groups.google.com/group/rowboat/browse_thread/thread/5787b9bf8618e38d google_groups]

Add the following at the end of init.rc file. Do not add oneshot option.

&lt;pre&gt;        service startEth0 /system/bin/starteth0.sh
&lt;/pre&gt;

Create the file /system/bin/starteth0.sh.
&lt;pre&gt;        #!/system/bin/sh  
        #next line just needed if you want to use adb by ethernet
        setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555
        netcfg eth0 dhcp
        setprop net.dns1 &lt;dns server ip&gt;
&lt;/pre&gt;

That should be enough. I only have one issue with the dns server that sometimes it does not set and I have to enter the command manually.

If you want to connect adb by ethernet:
&lt;pre&gt;
export ADBHOST=xx.xx.xx.xx  //Beagle IP
adb kill-server
adb start-server 
&lt;/pre&gt;

if you want to configure a static ip address:
&lt;pre&gt;
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 
route add default gw 192.168.1.1 
&lt;/pre&gt;
