        This is nice, but can config go to /etc/default/ to not horde
/etc top-level? Thanks.

What about using o-hands usbinit[1]?

I had same idea when saw that commit. OpenedHand usbinit is in use on few 
machines and do that work done properly. But it supports only 2.6 
machines which use g-ether kernel module.

This package was previously unknown to me :\

The idea behind usb-gadget-mode was that - eventually -  the user can
select the "mode" via a shiny GUI app and does not need to mess
w/ /etc/modutils manually.

If usbinit matches that description I'll happily remove gadget-mode.

With >4600 .bb files one can lose the overview easily, thanks for the
headsup ;)

        Well, it appears to be simple script dealing only with g_ether
(it also fiddles with network interface, even though that rather be
left for proper service).

I've checked the script and found it to be less than stellar. If
Angstrom indeed wants a hard-wired modprobe of g_ether on every boot
( w/o an easy way for 3rd-party apps to change that behavior) then it
should be implemented properly via /etc/modutils/ or ( when encountering
timing problems ) via a "pre-up" statement in /etc/network/interfaces as
demonstrated by a user on one of the angstrom lists.

Using a dedicated initscript for a simple modprobe is overkill and
ignores existing OS functions that were designed to do this job.

Comments? Suggestions?

        ... Please move /etc/usb-gadget.conf to
/etc/default/usb-gadget and continue hacking GPE's USB config applet to
use this infrastructure ;-).
