Description Arne.F 2018-08-06 10:08:02 UTC 
At first run of setup usb lan devices will not correct listed. You can still configure it but the manufacturer and device entries are empty.

I have tested this on arm and intel nightly builds for core123

Should we revert the update?
Comment 1 Michael Tremer 2018-08-06 14:46:54 UTC 
We can do this for now, but eventually we will need to find out what is going wrong...
Comment 2 Michael Tremer 2018-08-16 21:53:11 UTC 
This commit has been reverted because no fix was present and the release should not be blocked by this:

https://git.ipfire.org/?p=ipfire-2.x.git;a=commitdiff;h=df74fcbff940c9b92cd51be36a5b7c831f9b5292

Please figure out why this updated caused this problem.
Comment 3 Peter Müller 2018-08-19 20:45:18 UTC 
At the moment I have no idea about what is going wrong here (testing did not show this issue, but no USB LAN devices were in place) but I will take care of this.

So I guess we have to make sure the udev hardware database is properly present.
@Arne: Do we even need usb.ids anymore?

I fear the udev hwdb is also generated from this usb.ids list at udev startup. Also at the time of S75firstsetup udev is already started and running. So i still not understand why lsusb is not working.

Yes, we want to know what hardware is connected when we run "lsusb".

Closing this, since I believe it is a duplicate of bug #12667, which was fixed in Core Update 164. Please reopen, if necessary.
