Bug Description

I have a unusual DHCP/NFS root based setup for my PandaBoards. Would you consider changing the default linux-linaro configuration to compile in the PandaBoard USB ethernet driver instead of building it as a module?

The change is to set CONFIG_USB_NET_SMSC95XX=y

This would let me do a NFS root using just the uImage. Everything else needed is already built in including the kernel level auto configuration and the NFS client itself.

Easy fix, and I believe we should fix both lt-panda and linux-linaro.

$ grep USB_NET_SMSC95XX ./boot/config-3.0.0-1004-linaro-omap
CONFIG_USB_NET_SMSC95XX=y

Seems to be fixed for both kernels now.
