I am using a USB wireless adapter (RALink 2570 chipset with serialmonkey drivers) on a desktop machine with Debian Sarge (i386). The problem I am having is not getting the device to work, but getting it to work on bootup as well as hotplug.
I can get the system to bring up the interface with hotplug after the system is started, but trying to bring up the network automatically at boot is problematic. The ifupdown scripts run as S39ifupdown and load the module automatically when bringing the interface up. When the S40hotplug scripts run they load the USB 2.0 drivers, effectively killing or nullifying the previously loaded driver. I briefly tried changing the order of ifupdown and hotplug (moved ifupdown to 43, after hotplug and hotplug-net), but it seemed to fail to bring up the loopback adapter in that case.
