Now bookmarked. I read. It stated in part "... a new usbX network
interface (view with `ifconfig -a`)."
I tried and was given much - need to read up to understand what it tells me.
Then I read the rest of your post ;/
What your distribution does (even if it is still Debian) might be different
today, but it looks like it creates a network interface (usbN, in this
case). Again, your mileage might vary, but the dmesg output should tell
you what interface name is assigned.
You could also compare the output before and after plugging in the cable of
the command: ip addr
For example:
ip addr > /tmp/before-plugging.txt
[plug in device]
ip addr > /tmp/after-plugging.txt
diff -u /tmp/before-plugging.txt /tmp/after-plugging.txt
The difference should be the newly created network interface.
