What is your kernel parameter? Maybe you use 'usb%d' in kernel parameter for mounting nfs as root fs. If so, could you try 'eth%d' in kernel cmd? In fact, smsc95xx is a real LAN interface, and 'eth%d' should be prefered name as described in changelog of commit c261344d3ce3edac781f9d3c7eabe2e96d8e8fe8(usbnet:use eth%d name for known ethernet devices) Thanks, -- Ming Lei -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
