Hello all,
I just started hacking on my Beagleboard XM since last weekend - so
I'm new to the list and might be missing some context about this
problem being mentioned - but I apparently had better luck with my
ethernet interface.
I downloaded the latest F17/ARM snapshot on Sunday; unfortunately I
didn't write down the exact source URL. After booting it, network
worked out of the box. I then even did "yum update", and a kernel
update was proposed: updated, and after the reboot network was still
working fine.
I don't know about NetworkManager: in fact I didn't connect a monitor
nor keyboard to it, I just connected via an ssh terminal.. so pretty
sure that ethernet was working.
If anybody wants me to try out a specific image, send me a link I'll
be happy to try it out tonight.

I can confirm that this was the case with the the XM's hardfp nightly image
I downloaded Friday. The interface comes up as usb0 (as seen in dmesg), but
spits out "device not ready" errors when using NetworkManager or ifup/down
to establish a connection. I swapped in Angstrom's kernel (3.0.17 I think)
and the network interface came up as eth0 and functioned properly.
The image I downloaded from the nightly page Sunday didn't boot at all. I
can supply console output if desired; I'm downloading the latest image now
to see if anything is different.
It also looks like the kernels and initrds up to this point don't have all
of the usb storage drivers included. I had my XM rigged to boot the kernel
from SD and use a USB HDD as /, but to debug these images I've only been
able to use the SD card.
