 opkg will execute the postinst script during first boot, so modules
 won't work properly until 2nd boot.

just for the list archives, when I re-booted and had FR connected via USB
the problem didn't show up any more! So I guess that was the reason

The /etc/modules file is just a plain-text list of modules that are
dynamically loaded at boot time. My solution is only a guess really, but
worked for me in a similar situation.

When running the latest kernel that had this issue, try running
modprobe g_ether on the openmoko command line. That should enable the
usb ethernet module. If that works, you can then add just g_ether as a
line in the /etc/modules file to automatically do this modprobe every
boot.

You must add g_ether to /etc/modules to get the module to load on
boot.

is that the solution and how can I add that module?

In the meantime I did the following:

I re-installed the previous kernel (Om2008.9-gta02-20080916.uImage.bin) and
I  was able to establish USB networking. Does this mean that the
current/latest kernel is rather 'dodgy'? Am I the only one experiencing that
problem?

Thanks
