usbnet vs umass (FreeBSD<>BeagleBone)

[Dennis Glatting]

I am trying to get Ethernet to work over USB between a BeagleBone Black
and a i386 FreeBSD laptop. 

The FreeBSD laptop insists the BBB is a disk (da0) on the opposite end
of the USB cable. So I set load_umass="NO" but FBSD insisted a disk was
there. So I disabled Linux, still a da0. I commented out "device umass"
in the kernel config but umass was built and installed anyway (must be
a dependency somewhere).

Any clue how to get Ethernet over USB to a BBB is appreciated.
