modem usb detection

it's a Arris touchstone 402g
i've investigated and i found that uses the chip rndis
this modem have 2 entries, one by ethernet and another by usb
how can i make it start work on Arch?
i know is a thing of modules only, because the kernel was compiled with cdc_ether and rndis_host, wich are necesary to detect him
any ideas?

Re: modem usb detection

Does udev load any modules when you plug it in? If so, what does dmesg say? Also, what does lsusb show you?

Re: modem usb detection

i solved iti, but i didn't know very well how
in /etc/rc.conf, i used nano and modified
eth0="194xx x x x x"
eth1="dhcp"
i did it because the modem has one "net card", wich is the PC uses to connect
also, on the daemons,   i added udev cdc_ether rndis_host usbnet
but i'm not sure of them, i'll bet that erase them will not affect my connection
one of this things, or both, solved my modem problem, so the Arris Tiuchstone by USB is supported by Arch
solved, but not very well understood
