OMAP4 kernel udebs don't include NIC drivers

[Michael Casadevall]

The kernel udebs do not appear to include proper modules in the kernel udebs as the installer does not see the NIC device when the installer starts up. USB drivers also appear to be missing as the kernel doesn't see any USB devices plugged into the board.

in natty/ti-omap4 the lan is built-in:

[flag@newluxor ubuntu-natty]$ grep SMSC95XX debian/build/build-omap4/.config
CONFIG_USB_NET_SMSC95XX=y

so you should get the NIC by default.

are you perhaps using gcc 4.6? unfortunately, it seems it kills usb* even on omap4 (see also https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/791552)

and i can confirm you that we hit the same bug as lp#791552 on omap4, both with native and cross compilation.

This can't be the same bug, the kernel hasn't been uploaded since oneiric open.

[Andy Whitcroft (apw)]

@Michael -- if you "update" to the version in Natty does that sort you out? I suspect you will then hit the issue Paolo talks about. If things are better will sort out getting this kernel rolled forward.

Confirmed that my Panda has broken USB. Marking bug invalid as this bug doesn't appear on other pandas.
