OK, it is communication class, and it does claim to be using the ethernet
control model. That is good news, since there is a driver.
If you are comfortable with kernel patching, apply the latest -ac patch (from
your local kernel.org mirror) and select the CDC Ethernet driver. Then do the
normal kernel rebuilding, installing etc, and reboot.
You should get an additional ethernet device (say eth1, if you already have a
PCI card) - should see it if you do ifconfig -a. Then you can just tweak your
firewalling and surf away.
If you have problems, I really need to see kernel logs (of debug level, you
might need to tweak your syslog.conf a bit) of what happened when you plug in
the device (or load the module, whatever causes the reaction in the logs); and
I also would like to see the /proc/bus/usb[drivers/devices] files. Any user
space error messages as well.
