usb neworking problem

[Chris Howard]

Fedora Core 5, newly installed on a Dell D620 laptop.

I'm having problems with a usb network device  Linksys USB200M.
Google searches  seem to indicate there was some kind of 
hardware change in midstream with this device and newer ones
were causing problems.  But I haven't seen any resolution
to the issue yet.

Network configuration tools can be made to recognize the device
and load the asix device driver.  But it refuses to actually work.

Any ideas?
