 Thank you Alex. This has gotten me further along. I needed to change

 correctly, but the ethernet device is not initialized (nothing else changed
 from when it worked in the other machine).

now you know that some of the hardware is different, possibly other hardware is
not quite the same.

 When using the pegasus driver, I get "pegasus.c: party FAIL ". I did a
 search for this error message and the answer mentioned a kernel version
 conflict, but it worked before with the same kernel.
 
 You did great last time. Any more advice?


it's a real longshot, but try recompiling the kernel on the iopener? Configure
it for something reall basic, like a 386 compile.

Again, thanks Alex. I solved thisone myself. I norticed that the ethernet
device initialization was delayed, so I renumbered usb in the startup
sequence to move it ahead of network init and it now works fine.

I appreciate the help. Thanks again.

That would do it. I guess you had the ethernet stuff coming before the usb
stuff. 

Did the same boot sequence work on the othe machine?

 ethernet device (pegasus driver) worked fine there, but not in the I-Opener.
 I get the following error message: " Loading USB interface

 usb-interface have failed.
 
 Where do I start looking to fix this? lspci shows the USB device and it has
 an irq assigned. Could it be that the device settings need to be
 reconfigured from one machine to the other? Where is this file?

USB modules need to be loaded in a specific order
usbcore
usb-ohci OR usb-uhci (depends on your usb controller)
then usb-specific-devices

First check that usbcore was loaded, or included in the kernel.  The default
Mandrake kernels had usb support built as modules.

then load the correct usb driver either uhci, or ohci

then load any specific usb drivers
