Thank you! The idea of this bugreport is broader than coming to terms with my
own installation. Isn't there a reason why the kernel loads the wrong driver as
described in my report? 

By the way: There are multiple eth2usb chips. Most current notebooks lack a
RJ45 socket, so people buy a kind of adapter. I own three, all three equipped
with a different chip. Only one works out of the box. One needs help: the
command 'hwinfo --netcard' somehow triggers loading it. See here:

What I'm trying (with this bugreport e.g.) is to help to improve the situation
not only for me, but for all users and I "only" receive help for my issue.

I just talked to a friend (who is a professional programmer on MS platforms).
He laughed about it: So Linux still is "plug & pray" for some USB adapters?
Haha. 

I understand the difficulty: the developers don't own all usb dongles to test.
But the problem will be here as long as we have eth2usb chips and right now the
industrie starts offering "2.5 Gb/s" dongles. 

If I can help (well, not professionally: I'm a lawyer in renewable energies
business), let me know. And many thanks for your time and effort.
