ummm...I don't think I can lay my hands on that analyzer!
will usbmon help? or I think thats only used for host side debugging...right?

Ok. One stupid question:

* When the ethernet frames come over the BULK endpoints, they'll be split into
   USB packets (max 512 bytes for BULK EP). Where do they get "reassembled"
   into ethernet frames? Is this done by the ether gadget driver or
will it be done
   by the UDC?

Also, I checked the "ifconfig usb0" o/p and it didn't show anything
(both Tx/Rx frame
count was 0)!

I'll look at the receive path in the ether gadget driver and put some
printk's to see
if anything comes on the bus.

Thanks,
