require help for connecting to my ADSL router via usb

This is the report that I get when I try to connect my DLINK ADSL router via a USB hub

the various commands and the reports I give below

dsl@box:~$ sudo lsub

Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 2001:5b00 D-Link Corp. [hex]
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 03f0:7404 Hewlett-Packard
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

however when I try to ping 192.168.1.1 which is the IP address of the router
I get the network is unreachable.

Also when I try the following

dsl@box:~$ sudo pppoeconf

I get the following

"I found 1 ethernet device(s): neth0\n\nAre all your ethernet interfaces listed above ? \n (If No, modconf will be started so you can load the card drivers manually). \n\nOr press Ctrl-C to abort here

however when modconf is started , it reports the following
/usr/sbin/modconf: line 178: /usr/share/modconf/params: No such file or directory

This problem will be faced by many in India as the popular ADSL Router is the DLINK 502T being offered by 2 largest service providers viz MTNL and BSNL. Hence this shall be a query faced by many who would like to shift to linux. I tried to search for the LINUX Driver for DLINK 502T but in vain.

Also I would like to know, if it is possible to copy from the ATerminal into the Beaver Word Processor. What you have mentioned in the opening Help page to use Left button to highlight and LEFT and RIGHT Button to Paste, I am unable to do so.

Thanking You,

Your's Truly

You will rarely find a USB drivers for Linux.
Besides, what's the point of using a router via a USB hub?

I don't know in India, but in the west ethernet cards are cheap, starting from 5 euros/dollars/pounds and proper eth. hubs from 20 E/$/Ł

If you type

ifconfig -a

or view the DSL "System Stats" page, does it appear that you are connected to your ADSL router?

If not, type typing this, with EXACT uppercase and lowercase letters:

sudo su
modprobe CDCEther
netcardconfig

and then chooce the other port (not "eth0") and choose DHCP = Yes

If this doesn't work, try pppoeconfig for the other port
