Daniela, The ugen device means that there wasn't a kernel driver to handle the devic= e.=20 I don't believe you can use the ugen device as a formatted device (like cua= a,=20 tty, etc). What is the exact model of your modem? Most of the Alcatel SpeedTouch model= s I=20 looked at claimed to have a UTP network port on them. I'm on a cable modem= =20 myself, but could you switch out the modem for one that does have a network= =20 port?
