That one line, eh? Does it make a difference if you're running the
2.4.18-6mdk or 2.4.18.8.1mdk kernel?

That's interesting--that one line fixing it. I would assume that I can
make this work on 8.2 without having to resort to that hack. If I am
wrong, well, then I am wrong :) If I knew a little more about hotplug,
it seems like it would be possible to add a command that would fix this.
As I understand the original document that I based mine on, the issue is
that the acm module conflicts with the usbdnet module. So if I can
forcibly unload acm, that should solve the problem for 8.2. In 9.0, it
doesn't matter if the acm module is loaded or not. It works just fine
either way.
One thing I did notice is that packet counters are not updated for the
usb0 device:

Interesting :) This is with the 2.4.19-12mdk kernel. I will not get to
install the new 2.4.19-13mdk until I get back on Sunday at which time it
will probably already be updated :)
