Trying to install a new USB to LAN device on Ubuntu 10.04

[Ashim Kapoor]

Dear Colin and Shezad,

Thank you for the quick reply. I have a Ranz USB to Lan.It says
JP1081B and NO:9700 on a sticker on it. Not sure if that is the model
number.

As mentioned on this page :-
http://tech.firdooze.com/2011/11/16/how-to-instal-davicom-9601-drivers-dm9601-on-linux/

I did :-
modprobe usbnet
modprobe dm9601

Following the above webpage,here I am looking if the eth0/eth1 show up
something like on that page :-
ashimkapoor at ubuntu-laptop:~/lan_troubleshoot$ grep eth dmesg_after_modprobe
[    1.099837] sky2 eth0: addr 00:23:ae:32:c4:a9
[   27.730945] eth1: Broadcom BCM4315 802.11 Hybrid Wireless
Controller 5.60.48.36
[   27.812333] sky2 eth0: enabling interface
[   27.822468] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready
[   39.932217] eth1: no IPv6 routers present

The last line on this page says that there is a new usb interface
driver.Can I conclude that that is all that needed to be done ?  When
I do a grep for dm9601 on the dmesg which is generated WITH the usb (
I call this file dmesg_with) ,but before the modprobe,it does NOT show
me that line.

2.6.32-32-generic
ashimkapoor at ubuntu-laptop:~/lan_troubleshoot$ grep dm9601 dmesg_with
ashimkapoor at ubuntu-laptop:~/lan_troubleshoot$

My Network Manager does NOT show me anything new which tells me it can
detect the USB to LAN. I think the driver is installed but for some
reason it is not showing up in the Network Manager. Can someone guide
me a bit more ?

Many thanks,
Ashim
