Linux-2.6.11.x Has Broken usbnet

I just realized today that usbnet is broken in 2.6.11.6 when I tried to connect to my Zaurus 860. Some googling lead me to the kernel changelog in which it states that a fix for that “brokeness” went in on March 17, 2005. I tried using 2.6.12-rc2 and the usbnet does indeed work with that. Alsa seemed to not really work though, but it’s only rc2 so I’m sure they’ll get it ironed out. Anyway just a note to let you 860 users out there (*cough* weasel *cough*) know that it’s not your fault! 😉
