If your friend doesn't normally use the USB connection to the bridge, you need to reset the bridge ("cable modem" or whatever you want to call it) because those are typically designed so they're either/or (either cat5 or USB). Then without his computer being connected (they're bridges, not routers), connect yours. Open a terminal and type
| Code Sample | | dmesg | grep -i ether |
You can do the same grep pipe with lsmod to see if the cdcether module has loaded. This module doesn't work for every bridge but it works for almost every one I've tried (the exception was an older DSL bridge -- which reminds me, check and see if your friend's ISP requires him to register each computer he uses through his service via his account password). If that module hasn't loaded, you can try
| Code Sample | | sudo modprobe CDCEther |
(upper/lower case matters)
Once it's loaded, you can try pump again:
| Code Sample | | sudo pump -i eth0 |
If that fails to get you up, do
to see if the bridge is being detected at all. If not, check cables, your USB port, etc.
