Public bug reported:
In Dapper my usb ethernet adapter worked out-of-the-box. After upgrading
to Edgy RC it didn't. Booting into the last Dapper kernel
(2.6.15-27-686) fixes the issue.
The device uses the pegasus driver. I do not know (yet) if the driver
can be loaded by hand in Edgy kernel, will try that once I have an
opportunity to boot the machine.
So, In 2.6.15-27-686 connecting the device makes this appear in syslog (and
everything Just Works):

achieves this:
