More info on dmesg and /proc/bus/usb
Obviously, slackware can see Marvell wireless now but cannot see eth0 :(
Please help.
I try the same using ututo.igz and got the same result as in slackware.
So, usb8xxx is work only by luck under fedora only.
The problem to bring it up globally still exist.
Now I made slackware to have below info in OLPC:
