detection usb port on modem/router

helo,
   I have an "aethra starmodem" with ethernet and usb ports, now I used only ethernet port (eth0) with arch...

then I try simplymepis, and then reboot......

I found eth0 on ethernet and eth1 on usb....

and all they work OK, alternatively ....!!!!!!!!!!!!

I say... I want they work Ok on Arch too .... 

in simplymepis dmesg I have :

...
usbcore: registered new driver cdc_ether
eth1: register 'rndis_host' at usb-0000:00:10.0-2, RNDIS device, 00:e0:a6:66:41:
e1
usbcore: registered new driver rndis_host
drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 2 if 0 alt 0 pr
oto 2 vid 0x043D pid 0x009F
usbcore: registered new driver usblp
drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: v0.13: USB Printer Device Class driver
...
...

what can I do to start at boot eth1 too on Arch ?

thank you in advance
(sorry for my english)

Re: detection usb port on modem/router

The module is cdc_ether, not rndis_host.

Re: detection usb port on modem/router

I load module

cdc_ether

and I restart /etc/rc.d/network restart

error is

SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device
192.168.1.10: unknown interface: No such device
192.168.1.10: unknown interface: No such device

Re: detection usb port on modem/router

Do you need to load module 'usbnet'. I needed that for a router/modem once.
