lan0 is the ethernet device on my local pc here, and yes I 
changed  /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules
This device works fine in my local net using dhcp or static ip, I just want to 
know if the configuration above fits the 192.168.111.188/255.255.255.192 
network.
With "device" in subject I meant my fsg-3, I cannot connect to the fsg-3 
device after flashing.

Cause I'd need two of them, one connected to the fsg, one to my local pc and I 
don't know if its possile to connect two of those adapters.
