GeezerVison is showing github.com — Update connecting-to-the-internet-via-usb.md by ghpille · Pull Request #306 · ev3dev/ev3dev.github.io ConversationI've never used Gnome, and never any GUI for my network connections. I couldn't find how to establish the connection, so I found out myself, but I wanted to register what I learned. This page seemed the most appropriate place.

There are a few things I would like to fix before we merge it. Also see #39. It is basically the same thing as what is being added here, but was never finished. It is quite a bit out of date, but there may be some useful info there.

With #307, we'll be able to use code fences, so let's replace this with a fence and not remove the fences in other places. Fences are much more readable than indentation.

Although it really doesn't make a difference in normal text, in lists I find it very hard to identify code formatting when it's space-indented. I think that code fences make it much easier to quickly identify the code in an indented list.

In lists, it is still indented 4 extra spaces from the list text, so it looks exactly the same as normal text to me. And regardless of any opinions on which is "better", the rest of the website uses indents, so I would like to stay consistent with that.

It's extremely difficult to differentiate between sub-bullets, indented additional lines, and code blocks; they all are indented in the same way. Using indentation for code blocks is an unnatural use of whitespace, and as a result it conflicts with all the other uses of whitespace.
argumentum ad antiquitatem. "It has always been done this way" isn't a reason to continue doing it; switching to code fences is trivial and something that I would happily put in the work for now that we have that ability.
Because you must maintain the indentation. Every line must be prepended with four spaces, so not only do you need to add the spacing before every line, but you also need to mess with indentation when copy-pasting code. This is especially difficult in GitHub's online editor.

I did some reading about connman (does it sound like con-man?), tried in vain to get it to do what I wanted, and disabled it. Now, ev3dev nicely configures the network the way I tell it to in /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolv.conf.

Shouldn't there be a step where you press the Connect button for the network connection on the EV3? When you do this, it will say "Online" on the screen, which verifies that DNS resolution is working.

Quite right, after selection of the "Load Linux Defaults", but possibly because of the manual interventions, the state remains "Connected", even though I can "apt-get upgrade".

I think you should give some credit to the people interested in this subject: they would not expect to see the EV3 when lsusb would be run on the EV3. Moreover, before step 12 it is not possible to enter an OS command on the EV3. But I'll try to add this to the introduction, along with Debian version etc.

Please mention the exact debian version that was used for the tutorial. We should also mention that is should work for most Linux distros that don't otherwise have a network manager program (or something like that).
