/var/log/messages is not that much of an ifopool. It logs mainly all button pushes and url you visited. And it has lots of infos that th dhcpclient is trying to get information.
Doesnt show the heaps of info, that get logged during a normal linux boot.
I saw a couple of warning messegas from dropbear, with failed root logins
didnt get the right pasword though.
Looking at the interfaces i see the usb eth interfaces. Think we can connect via usb to the iliad? dont know how to make an tcp/ip connection via usb. Any ideas?
