Re: [Gumstix-users] pm branch questions

[Braon M. <bmo...@mu...>]

As an aside, I've been testing usb ethernet adapters in the .39-pm
branch and suffering sudden failures.

I saw some unstableness also on the .39 non pm branch, and I removed
avahi-daemon from start up init, which made a big difference.

Anyone else with a .39-pm system up could plug in a usb ethernet adapter
(on a powered hub, or direct connect) and see if you're seeing the same
thing.
