[shreyansh jain]

Public bug reported:

I am using a USB-LAN adapter in my ubuntu for the wired net connection.
my adapter is detected well in kernel 2.6.32-22 and previous one's but
later on when new updates of kernel 2.6.32-23 and 2.6.32-24 are released
i noticed that in those kernels .. my USB-LAN adapter is detected, but
something is wrong with the driver... its not working in these new
kernels (2.6.32-23 and 2.6.32-24) ...

my adapter uses a dm9601 driver
