Rasberry Pi Zero USB/Ethernet Doesn't Connect Under Linux
by Mill J from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5CVVX)
Hello
I'm tinkering with an updated RaspberryPi Zero, the one with the camera port but not the W model.
There's lots of tutorials on connecting to the pi via ssh over a usb ethernet. Everything goes fine, the device boots and the Ethernet shows up in my networking but for some reason it won't connect, it tries and retries but nothing. I've tried 3 different laptops running Mint 19.* and MX Linux. Finally booted to Windows 7 partition and it connected and I was able to ssh into the pi.
Any idea why Linux doesn't want to connect? Searching the web it seemed like it should "just work".
Thanks
