Hi Andy,
    After trace the log of HAL we found

nt_dev=0x00000000
04:19:14.933 [I] hotplug.c:138: /sys/devices/virtual/misc/apm_bios is a 
device (subsystem)
04:19:14.933 [I] device.c:4306: add_dev: subsys=misc 
sysfs_path=/sys/devices/virtual/misc/apm_bios dev=/dev/apm_bios 
parent_dev=0x00000000
04:19:14.934 [I] hotplug.c:138: /sys/devices/virtual/net/eth0 is a 
device (subsystem)
04:19:14.935 [I] device.c:4306: add_dev: subsys=net 
sysfs_path=/sys/devices/virtual/net/eth0 dev= parent_dev=0x00000000

the parent_dev is NULL and so that HAL will not detect it.

compares to usb0
04:19:14.575 [I] hotplug.c:138: 
/sys/devices/platform/s3c2440-usbgadget/gadget/net/usb0 is a device 
(subsystem)
04:19:14.576 [I] osspec.c:966: hal_util_find_known_parent: 
'/sys/devices/platform/s3c2440-usbgadget/gadget/net/usb0'->'/sys/devices/platform/s3c2440-usbgadget'
04:19:14.577 [I] device.c:4306: add_dev: subsys=net 
sysfs_path=/sys/devices/platform/s3c2440-usbgadget/gadget/net/usb0 dev= 
parent_dev=0x00081bb0

Thanks OLV's support :)

I don't know who is taking care of this part, Andy would you help?

Thanks,
Tick
