Thank you, the two methods you mention are the workarrounds I use atm, but they have drawbacks, the most important is performance, the serial console is good for commandline work but sharing files with 115.200 can get a pain in the ***.
Same situation with wlan, when traveling in the train both my mac and the edison are paired to my iphone (so that I can have internet), this works and I can share files between the two devices but this method is also _very_ slow.
The gadget driver works a lot faster (at least on my beaglebones) so I am trying to get this working on the edison.
