Then use the
route
command to add a default gateway. Use the same static IP address you set in the Network settings in the previous section.route add default gw 192.168.2.2
You can now use the Intel® Edison as if it is connected to the internet on its own as long as you keep the device mode micro-USB cable plugged in.
Try pinging a network from Terminal to make sure the Intel® Edison is connected to the internet through your computer’s network connection:
ping google.com
(Use the Ctrl+C keyboard command to exit the ping process.)
To re-enable WiFi on the Intel® Edison, use the configure_edison --wifi
command as described in Connect Your Intel Edison to Wi-Fi.
Unable to ping anything from the Intel® Edison?
Unplug and replug the device mode micro-USB cable to reset the Ethernet over USB connection.
