on a time-based release lifecycle but on one that would only
turn into a release when no regression tests fail... :-(
that's very odd,
and i would blame a retarded peace of hardware.
I don't really like to use USB EtherNet adapters, but unluckily,
all manufacturers of modern light-weight laptops have conspired to ditch
real EtherNet ports in favor of requiring people to use USB adapters :(
i don't see any reason why something from 3.8 will work but something
from 4.x will not.
Ehm... this is not about an incompatibility of Subsurface, I was
talking just about linux kernel 3.8.x vs. 3.11.x ... so no 4.x
involved :-)
have you tried sending a bug/regression report for this one?
I did report bugs regardings USB regressions before, but the
particular adapter I'm using right now is one I borrowed from
the hotel I'm currently staying at. (They surprisingly do not
have wireless, but wired InterNet access, only, in the rooms.)
So I wouldn't be able to re-check if a fix was published in a
few months.
Also, I wouldn't want to dilute attention (if there is any)
from the one open USB bug that currently bothers me most (#53211).
