They were not. After enabling them, things work as expected.

Thanks very much!! :-)

I've been doing the following on a mainline kernel to generate the
.config for my panda board:

make omap2plus_defconfig
ttc set_config CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD=y CONFIG_MFD_OMAP_USB_HOST=y CONFIG_USB_EHCI_ROOT_HUB_TT=N CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TT_NEWSCHED=y CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD_OMAP=y CONFIG_USB_EHCI_MV=n
ttc set_config CONFIG_USB_NET_SMSC95XX=y CONFIG_USB_SISUSBVGA=n
make oldconfig

I've kind of lost track of the preferred method of doing board-specific configurations,
since the big defconfig purge of 2011. I think I need to go back to the drawing board
on my automatic config-setting.

In any event, thanks again.
