[OLPC-devel] error report on usb8xxx with new kernel and firmware

[supat at supat.eu.org]

My original is already report on build 81 binaries basis.

It took me long time (over night) to pull libertas and found that it was 
simply OLD olpc 2.6.17 while I did already test it on OLPC 2.6.18-rc4 with 
new libertas and usb8388.bin firmware.

However, I did go back to old 2.6.17 libertas and problem under linux 
slackware remain repeat to be the same.

The point of different I notice are:

1. slackware detect usb8xxx via /etc/rc.d/rc.M --> hotplug
2. slackware do not have /etc/module.d/blacklist
3. slackware has different /etc/udev/rules.d/
4. login by slackware using PAM lib
5. /etc/inittab are different

But above mechanism work under old OLPC BIOS.

If I know exactly steps and mechanism under fedora to fire-up usb8xxx then 
I may be able to solve the problem.
