Because ethernet isn't the only choice to connect. It is good to have working wifi and 3g modem. > What exactly do you mean, PPP over USB? Google "PPP over USB". I've googled, red 9fans archive, wiki and docs before posting here. I've even posted gist with lspci, lsusb, logs etc (https://gist.github.com/782904). Device support CDC.

Is there a tutorial like in FreeBSD handbook http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/arch-handbook/driverbasics.html ? How to port driver from FreeBSD or Linux or ...? Which is better source? How to debug them?
