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:

http://people.openmoko.org/andy/uImage-moredrivers-stable_88bf43840b9df0eb.bin

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.

if you want to populate the sd card from your pc anyway, then you don't  
need to flassh an older kernel. else anyone older then july should work.

opkg install /mountpoint/of/sdcard/kernel-module*.ipk

Flash a kernel with USB networking

[Alexandre H.]

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?

Thank you in advance,
lex.
