Actually it seems consistent that:
1. load em28xx -> attach USB -> fail
2. attach USB -> load em28xx -> success

Sounds like if the driver is loaded, it tries to access eeprom while
it's still initializing or something like that.

Seems that USBPcap needs compiling and TESTSIGNING enabled - so I'd
rather avoid it.

I did get etl format windows captures via "logman start usbtrace".
Can you read those, or know anyway to convert them to text / something
wireshark reads?

Native .etl and the .etl converted to .cap do not work in wireshark:
