Wrong IP for usb0

[mguilherme]

So I had to change the usb ip in order to have an internet connection with a Mac, everything is working just fine after changing /etc/network/interfaces to:

iface usb0 inet static
    address 192.168.2.2
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 192.168.2.1
    dns-nameservers 192.168.2.1

However the Tyny Cloud is showing the wrong ip for the USB-Ethernet because the ip is hardcoded in ~/launcher/Menu/GameShell/98_TinyCloud/__init__.py.
I wrote a small function to retrieve the IP from USB0, therefor we could replace the hardcoded ip with the result of this function, if no one changes the ip, fine :) If we need to change the TynyCloud will be always updated.

The function:

import socket
import fcntl
import struct

def GetIpAddress(ifname):
  s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)

  try:
    ip = socket.inet_ntoa(fcntl.ioctl(
       s.fileno(),
       0x8915,  # SIOCGIFADDR
       struct.pack('256s', ifname[:15])
    )[20:24])
  except:
    ip = 'x.x.x.x'

  return ip


print(GetIpAddress('usb0'))

Do you want me to create a PR or do you have anything to add / change?

I haven't looked into the code much, but I realized the same issue. I wonder if this is associate with connecting the pi using USB to PC or it means the connection to a micro usb Ethernet dongle. Thanks!

@mguilherme is gateway 192.168.2.1 your router ip?

[mguilherme]

@AresLiCa no its not, this is related to USB connection!
