Thanks for responding, Robert. Took me a while to get a terminal
working.
I've answered your questions below.
I also booted into Angstrom. The first time, I plugged in the
ethernet cable and every thing just worked. (although I did learn
that the network show up on usb0, not eth0). Later, I rebooted into
Angstrom with the ethernet cable already plugged in. No network. I
unplugged and I got a message "usb0: link down." I replugged, no
network. I unplugged and replugged again, finally the network came
up.
I tried unplugging an replugging on Ubuntu, no messages, no network.
I'll keep trying to find consistent behavior. In the meantime,
debugging pointers are appreciated.
FWIW, I paste the output of "ifconfig -a" below.
thanks, --gary

Give "lsusb" a try vs "lspci" (no pci bus)
