My PC has a net2280 card, but I don't recall seeing the driver automatically loaded when I boot a kernel that has it configured. Maybe that's my own fault, though... I don't enable the net2280 driver very often. > I mean, it's the same on your PC right ? if you drop udev, ehci/ohci > won't load automatically and you'll have host drivers binding with > usbcore and no ehci/ohci loaded. UDC/gadget drivers are a little different from host/device drivers. In general, each gadget will want to be bound to a specific UDC, whereas a device driver usually doesn't care which bus a device is on. Eventually we'll have to figure out how to arrange this.
