Package: linux-image-2.6.26-2-686 For more than 5 years I have tried to connect my modem/router, a 2Wire HomePortal 1000SW, to my system over a usb cable. Today I tried the Mandriva 2010 live cd and the usb connection was recognized and installed as eth2 automatically. I installed and tried linux-image-2.6.32-bpo.3-686 and linux-image-2.6.32- bpo.2-686, without success. While Mandriva is able to install my modem/ router as eth2 (I have two ethernet cards), neither of these can. On that system my device uses rndis_host as its driver, but the kernel messages from my old/present kernel indicate that rndis_host fails to get the "ethaddr." The attacked tar contains dmesg and lsmod listings for Lenny and Mandriva plus the Mandriva kernel config file, lsusb and /proc/bus/usb/devices file. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Mark
