Bug#760859: Please ensure drivers for USB Device are enabled on all architecture featuring USB
Source: linux
Severity: normal
Hey,
I recently ran into an issue with an usb wifi dongle (rtl8188) not being
support by an ARM board, while the same debian kernel version supports it fine
on x86.. Underlying issue here is that CONFIG_R8188EU is only enabled on x86,
but not on other architectures which also feature USB.
The same probably goes for a bunch of other devices, which one could happily
plug into an non-x86 board but only has its driver build on x86..
