Perhaps > some kernel component is missing. There are known issues with em28xx on non-Intel CPUs. That's not a good driver to use for such testing. No easy answers here. I suspect nobody has ever tried it, so if you want it to work you would need to be prepared to roll up your sleeves and debug the driver code (assuming you have kernel development experience). Otherwise your only option is to wait for some developer who cares enough to figure out why such an obscure setup doesn't work. We barely have enough resources to keep this stuff working correctly under x86 - developers are too overloaded to worry about platforms with zero userbase. Devin -- Devin J.
