Pi5 Ethernet over USB-C

This configuration works PERFECT on a Pi4, but NOT on Pi5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PAdeZ4aokk I had been following this link, hoping for an eventual fix, but that has fizzled out: https://github.com/raspberrypi/bookworm-feedback/issues/77 What I’m looking for, put as succinctly as I can, is what works for me on Pi4: 1. NO wifi or cellular service available 2. NO “extra” networking hardware available 3. Raspberry Pi5 4. iPad Pro 5. USB-C (Thunderbolt) cable 6. Plug Pi5 into iPad Pro using USB-C cable 7. Pi5 powers up 8. Pi5 provides IP address to iPad Pro using DHCPCD server of some kind (nmcli?) 9. Ability to SSH into Pi5 from iPad Pro using this physical USB-C connection Steps 8 and 9 do not currently work. That’s what I need help with. Thanks for any help anyone can provide! 🙂 -Verxion

From what I can read in https://github.com/raspberrypi/bookworm-feedback/issues/77 is that they have fixed "Mass storage" and NOT "Ethernet over USB".

Check https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/5737

I’ll check that out, thanks

This looks VERY promising - the guy from Germany basically implies his stuff fixes it perfectly

Going to try that now

He left a bunch of stuff out it seems

/usr/sbin/avahi-autoipd --force-bind -D usb0 Failed to get index for interface name 'usb0': No such device

Also, his write up says simply “activating dwc2/g_ether in config.txt/cmdline.txt”, but he doesn’t give the specifics

…which the video I linked above DOES give.

Regardless, yeah, it doesn’t work

There are both official and other sources on internet that has instructions for that

Well yes - as I said:

Here.
