To a relative layman in terms of USB ethernet devices, it seems from
your log as if the device is detected and initialized already. Do you
want a specific network interface (eth0, in this case) to automatically
come up when you plug in the device? I'm sure can be configured via
hotplug and/or the networking scripts in /etc/sysconfig/network-
scripts...
