"opkg upgrade" breaks USB networking: g_ether module missing

[W.Kenworthy]

Has there been any changes to charging? (modules needed?)  For todays
kernel I cant get USB charging above 100ma.

As I am at 0% battery (shown by apm) I have shut it down/removed the
battery until I get home and can use the wall charger, I am assuming
that as it boots it *should* charge at 500ma (as it used to do before
the upgrade.)
