_MUST_ be stopped during OS boot. This is the reason, why the USB is
NOT automatically started during start-up. If someone needs the USB
it before booting the OS.
For USB keyboards this can be done by a script which is automatically

Common USB Commands:
- usb start:
- usb info [dev]: shows all USB infos of the device dev, or of all
the devices
- usb stop [f]: stops the USB. If f==1 the USB will also stop if

Config Switches:

CONFIG_CMD_USB enables basic USB support and the usb command
-CONFIG_USB_UHCI defines the lowlevel part.A lowlevel part must be defined
+CONFIG_USB_UHCI defines the lowlevel part. A lowlevel part must be defined
if using CONFIG_CMD_USB
CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD enables the USB Keyboard
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE enables the USB storage devices
To enable USB Host Ethernet in U-Boot, your platform must of course
support USB with CONFIG_CMD_USB enabled and working. You will need to
-add some config settings to your board config:
+add some settings to your board configuration:
CONFIG_CMD_USB=y /* the 'usb' interactive command */
CONFIG_USB_HOST_ETHER=y /* Enable USB Ethernet adapters */
You can also set the default IP address of your board and the server
as well as the default file to load when a 'bootp' command is issued.
However note that encoding these individual network settings into a

and all the parameters can either get stored in the board's external
environment, or get obtained from the bootp server if not set.

The 'usb start' command should identify the adapter something like this:
