Okay.  This indicates that the driver's not in place (for whatever
reason).

No.  It's just messing with the Network File System; it can be disabled
and/or removed later.  :)

I did a little poking around, and it appears as though it would be
helpful to see the contents of your /proc/bus/usb/drivers and
/proc/bus/usb/devices.  There's also more information, as well as web
pointers (to places like http://www.linux-usb.org/) in your
Documentation/usb directory (this is under your main kernel-source
directory, eg, /usr/local/src/linux/Documentation/usb/).  Also, can you
tell us what 'grep -i pegasus .config' from your kernel source directory
tells you?

According to http://www.linux-usb.org/USB-guide/x558.html, it *should*
be configurable as just "another ethernet device" (with ifconfig) once
the driver's configured.

I haven't worked with any USB devices yet on *any* platform, so I'm
interested in seeing this happen.  :)
