I presume from your post that you're trying to set up a broadband
gateway on your (wireless?) lan. Using an NIC could well be easier, but
the cdcether module may work for USB (it would for mine, if I connected
it using USB). There's no problem using two NICs in one machine if
that's what's eating you.
