A cursory search through the ethernet drivers[1] turns up the following drivers; aue(4): ADMtek AN986 Pegasus chipset axe(4): ASIX Electronics AX88172 chipset cue(4): Computer Access Technology Corporation's USB-EL1210A chipset kue(4): Kawasaki LSI KL5KLUSB101B chipset rue(4): RealTek RTL8150 chip udav(4): Davicom DM9601 chipset As others have said, check your 'dmesg' and 'usbdevs' output if you can find any of these devices.
