FW: {Fixed} H3650 usbf to Linux host running 2.6.15

With the help of Gentoo forum guru I found I was missing a
required new module in 2.6.15: cdc_subset.

I also needed cdc_ether which I did have.
Both of these modules are required to get
usbnet to work with ipaq giving usb0
interface enabled message in dmesg.
