I checked busybox web page and found out that something was done for mdev. Maybe
 the problem with hardware detection is really away. I'm going to try version
1.9.2 - current stable.

12 February 2008 -- BusyBox 1.9.1 (stable)
BusyBox 1.9.1. (svn, patches, how to add a patch)

This is a bugfix-only release, with fixes to fsck, iproute, mdev, mkswap, msh,
nameif, stty, test, zcip.
