In another article I've shown how, this USB Ethernet adapter, appears on my desktop system.
Today I'm going to show you how it works on the Raspberry Pi and on the Beaglebone board.
It's really fantastic, it works fine without any problem.
Take a look a the following outputs:
Beaglebone running Angstrom Linux
Once the adapter has been plugged in the usb port it is immediately visible using the lsusb command:

using the dmesg tool we can get some other info

last i configured the device with my favorite IP

issueing the ifconfig command we can see that the board is "running"

Raspberry Pi running raspbian
Once the adapter has been plugged in the usb port it is immediately visible using the lsusb command:

The adapter works fine with both the boards.
That's all
