Re: [Gumstix-users] D-Link USB / Ethernet Adapter

I don't have any answers about your particular USB device.

To add/remove modules to your kernel you can directly modify the defconfig
if you are confident you know the changes or you can run the kernel config
tool as you did with OE classic like this

bitbake -c menuconfig virtual/kernel

When it's done and you've saved the changes, the new config will be found
here

$TMPDIR/work/overo-poky-linux-gnueabi/linux-gumstix/<kernel-version>/git/.config

If you are using the meta-gumstix kernel layer unmodified you can replace
the defconfig that it uses

<some-dir>/meta-gumstix/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-gumstix-3.5/overo/defconfig

If you have your own layer then you probably want to create
recipes-kernel/linux
directory with a .bbappend for the kernel recipe and a subdir for the custom 
defconfig and any custom patches you might have.

To rebuild after a defconfig change I always use

bitbake -ccleansstate virtual/kernel && bitbake virtual/kernel

There should be an ipk or maybe rpm directory under $TMPDIR/deploy/

Supposing it's ipk, then under $TMPDIR/deploy/ipk/overo you'll find a bunch
of kernel-module-<driver>*.ipk packages that got built with the kernel. 
You can manually try installing any of these for testing. You can also add
them
to your image recipe explicitly if for some reason you are not finding them
on 
your image now.

Hope that helps.
