I don't see what I should do. I put the modem into the fonera, wait it
to settle, check the output of `dmesg` and `logread` and do not
recognize the parts informing me about the network devices being
created, it's still seen just as a scsi cdrom. I did `insmod usbnet`
and `insmod cdc_ether` and used `lsmod` to verify they have been loaded,
unplug the modem and put it back, but `dmesg` and `logread` do not show
any difference. when I check the output of `ifconfig`, it gives me just
the eth0, eth0.1, eth0.2 devices that are anyway present.

anything else I could do or check?

thanks,
MF
