How long does it actually take for the USB ethernet device
to become visible at this point?
Is 2 seconds enough? For example.
If so, let's just change CONF_PRE_OPEN to "2" and change
msleep() to ssleep().
It's rediculious to require that users learn about obscure
kernel command line options in order for basic functionality
to work properly.
