Yes, and it really is an ugly hack. A more elegant solution is to put a sed line at the bottom of rc.local that searches for the usbdnet line to modify and changes it. That way even if the kernel is updated it still works properly without any possible collateral breakage. Of course, that's just for 8.2. In 9.0 I think Juan added the IDs and it works out-of-the-box, so I wouldn't put just a huge amount of effort into 8.2. > That's interesting--that one line fixing it.

I don't have any conflict at all. I just hack the ID into modules.usbmap (overwriting something-or-another) and it "Just Works"TM. I luv my Z. -- Brad Felmey
