Somebody in the thread at some point said:
| Hello,
|
|
| I did the same update as Thomas here :
http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/support/2008-August/000900.html
| And now I miss the modules g-ether and cdc-ether.
|
| His solution:
| "My solution was to flash an older kernel, install the missing modules
with opkg, then re-flash the new kernel."
|
| So my question is how to do that :
| - what older kernel should I put on my sd card?
| - how to install the g-ether and cdc-ether modules from the sd card
with opkg?
There is a class of kernels now called "moredrivers" that have enough
drivers in the monolithic kernel that they do not rely on the presence
of modules themselves. For example:

These guys have the Ethernet over USB (and other things) built-in
according to the old school. You can DFU this in safely and then update
by packages.
