I have high speed access via a cable modem with an ethernet connection
that does not seem to function, so I use the USB port when I'm running
W2K. I'd like to use the USB connection with FreeBSD.

I've done a lookup on the matter, but the information is sparse, dated,
and negative, so I'm hoping that a solution exist now.

How do I set up FreeBSD to use a USB connection connected to a cable
modem?

If this can't be done, I'd be interested in writing the appropriate
driver or code. If the PPPoE code is modular, it seems like a PPPoUSB
wouldn't be too hard (famous last words). Has anyone tried this? This
would be a great project to sink my teeth into. 

Thanks in advance,
