Somebody in the thread at some point said:

| Maybe the kernel didn't have the usb-ethernet-device as buildin any

Updating the kernel separately from the modules is not a good idea under
normal circumstances, it's best to use a package and then modules and
the monolithic kernel match.  If they don't match, bad things can and
will happen.

To get over this you can DFU one of the "moredrivers" kernels that don't
rely on any modules for critical stuff and won't use modules from
another kernel build.

The packaging is meant to be sorted out now for modules, hopefully the
rootfs will follow tomorrow.
