Hi Declan, the HOWTOs I can find suggest you need the CDCEther driver which is in the USB part of the config. With the driver loaded, the interface apparently appears as a new eth driver (eth1, or whatever), so that ifconfig will then work normally. One of the links (I'm not sure how old) suggested building as a module, so that if the line dropped you could ifconfig it down and rmmod CDCether, then reinsert and bring it back up.
