USB Network Adapter

hello
i have a USB modem/router ... in windows system it id. itself as

Conexant USB Network Adapter

and it looks as a new network card with new IP etc.

but under linux i have a little problem with it
.. after i connect it to my linux (arch) box in logs i get

usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 6
usb 1-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71
usb 1-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71
usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 7
usb 1-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

and when i do lsusb i get

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

it is very important for me to solve it quickly becouse in few days i will have internet access only by this router ... and i dont want to reinstall linux to windows

Re: USB Network Adapter

i do believe we need more data (model #)  at least i do cause i do not have your hardware
check modules
lsmod
you want, so far i know ehci_hcd uhci_hcd ohci_hcd
then try
ifconfig -a
what interfaces do you have
lo
sit0
eth0
wifi0
????
ifconfig INTERFACE up
dhcpcd INTERFACE
you should have network up
now if you want it up at boot time read here

if this does not get you connected then your probably missing a module/driver  some where
