Mehmet,

I've put the .ISO here:  
http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~swildner/dfly_with_mos.iso.xz

Note that you'll need a DVD blank disk because it is rather large.

That's weird. em0 is an Intel PCI network interface and the rest is not  
related to the USB adapter either. They are special interfaces for  
Firewire (fwe0), PPP, loopback adapter (lo0) and whatnot, some of them  
older stuff. I think we should blacklist them in the installer to not  
confuse people. If needed, they can be configured outside the installer.

The name of the USB NIC we're looking for should be "ue0" but the  
installer doesn't list it.

So let's leave the installer aside for a moment and try a simpler test:

* Boot from the ISO and login as "root" (no password needed)

* Plug in the USB NIC.

* Check with "kldstat". Is if_mos.ko listed? If it is not listed, do  
"kldload if_mos".

* Type "ifconfig ue0". Does it say "ifconfig: interface ue0 does not  
exist" or does it list information about the ue0 interface?

* If it said "interface ue0 does not exist", please do "usbconfig  
dump_device_desc". It will list information about each connected USB  
device. Try to find the "ugenX.Y: ..." line for the USB NIC in the output  
and tell me what values idVendor and idProduct have in the section below  
its "ugenX.Y: ..." line.

Thanks for testing so far.
