 '''Problem''': already plugged-in active antenna is not enumerated by
 operating system during boot.  ''iwconfig'' does not show anything except
 msh0 and eth0.

 '''Impact''': very low, this is not an expected use-case.  It complicates
 testing.

 '''Workaround''': physically disconnect and reconnect the USB plug of the
 active antenna.  This results in msh1 and eth1 appearing in ''iwconfig''.

 '''Context''': active antenna prototypes 0743 0666 and 0743 0652, two B4
 systems, with operating system build 625.

 '''Diagnosis''': problem reproduced on two units, in either left or right
 USB sockets, with a warm reboot or cold boot after removing all power
 sources.  ''lsusb'' shows the device exists on the bus.  ''dmesg'' shows
 two discovery events but they identify eth0.
