I take it that netcfg's use of link detection doesn't make it default to eth1 in this case? > One solution would be to include nic-modules and have a udev rule file > to make sure that the USB ethernet is eth0. Unfortunately, I've no > idea how to easily add such a udev file to the image. The rule could go in rootskel for arm only, but it would need to be one that only affected the nslu2 and not other arms. If that is not possible in a udev rule, we would have to make rootskel move the rule into place during early boot if it detected an nslu2. -- see shy jo
