    Hi,
    Let me know if it's possible to use Direct USB Connection from Ubuntu. I have not found documentation about.
    Thanks.

    I'm sorry for my bad English. Yes, I want to connect from a Ubuntu 15.10 PC to the Neo.
    Thanks.

    I am also sorry, I can't help you as I don't have a Linux pc. But did you try it? Did the Neo show up a a device? Could you connect to it on IP 192.168.7.2 ?

    Hi Lorenzo,
    For sure, you should be able to use a Direct USB connection between your Neo and a Linux computer. The drivers are already built-in the Linux Kernel.
    You should have a new network interface `usb0`, a serial interface in `/dev/ttyACM0` and a USB Mass storage mounted.

    On Ubuntu 15.10 and 16.04 (still alpha) usb0 is not automatically connected for some reason.
    I use this workaround:
    Code:
    sudo ifconfig `ifconfig |grep enx |awk '{print $1}'` 192.168.7.1

    Thank you for your post. I used ifconfig to identify the RNDIS network adapter name, then made a change to what you posted. This is another step in the right direction
