Reply: (edit)Hi,
As far as I am aware, the USB drivers only exist for windoze.
Is this the modem with a network socket on the back ? If it is not, I think NTL will replace it for a newer model free, if you explain the problem.
If it is, use a network lead to connect this to a network card on your linux box and tell the linux box to use DHCP. There is no need for a hub or switch.
Issue the command
/etc/init.d/network restart
and you should be able to browse the web.
