Search for usb webstar linux.

I doubt that anyone wrote a driver for that but keep looking.

The only way I'd know would be to run an vm that allowed access and use it as a proxy. Kind of a long way around.

I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you goober.

You may not find a USB driver for that Cable
Modem. IIUC, it has an ethernet port. If it
does, get a NIC card and install it. Connect
the computer to the modem with a cat5 cable.
A search of local brick & mortar shops here
finds a 3com card for $13.00 US and several
others for under $30.00 US.

HTH,
