Hi David,

got a USB network cable and was happy to see that it's supported by usbnet.
Good job, thanks!
usb0: register usbnet 001/004, Prolific PL-2301/PL-2302

However:
Upon ifconfig,
usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 3, frame# 922
usb0: open reset fail (-32) usbnet 001/004, Prolific PL-2301/PL-2302

The ifconfig fails to up the interface, consequently.

Attached patch prevents the driver from returning the reset failure.
Guess what: The networking worked just fine then.
Probably the real solution is different ...

Patch is against 2.4.16.

Regards,
