What does "ifconfig -a" show after plugging this device in?  If it shows
a new NIC, you're golden.  Then you need to determine if you get DHCP or
have to use PPPoE (using the "rp-pppoe" package has worked great for me.
~ I use Webmin to manage it).

| usbserial.c: Generic converter now attached to ttyUSB0 (or usb/tts/0 for

| usb.c: serial driver claimed interface c55f9a20
| usbserial.c: Generic converter detected

| devfs)
| usb.c: serial driver claimed interface c55f9a38
|
| Can someone explain what the usb 5-1 stuff is?  Why doesn't it show as
| something like ttyUSB_ ?
