Eth0 has to be manually selected from ECM list to make Ethernet work

[Soumya Basak]

As I observed Linaro-android jellybean 4.2.2 TI-panda builds, on first boot ups ethernet can't come up auto.

Normally we follow our test wiki page either Ethernet configurable from command line or from settings and Ethernet Configuration list.

Observed with panda jb android RC12.11 release builds
https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android/panda-jb-gcc47-tilt-stable-blob-12.11-release/#build=1

Ethernet connection manager is available but need to change Ethernet device to eth0 from the Ethernet configuration setting to make it work.

[Soumya Basak (soumya-basak)]

also observed with panda-es board with Linaro android jb re;ease build:
https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android-member-ti/panda-linaro-13.01-release/#build=2
ethernet can be configured from ECM
Configure Ethernet device make changes to "eth0" to make ethernet work.

[Soumya Basak (soumya-basak)]

for the panda Linaro android 13.02 release image
https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android-member-ti/panda-linaro-13.02-release/
I followed the procedure from wiki page https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/QA/TestCases/Android#boot-test_-_dwm to make eth0 up

1. ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.8 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
2. route add default gw 192.168.1.1 dev eth0
3. setprop net.dns1 192.168.1.1

Ethernet now works well automatically after system booted up:
