[solved] Module usb-eth not available

Question

Hi everyone,
I am using Arch for about a week now and must say that I love it. Before I was using Ubuntu for half a year and earlier Gentoo.
So now to my question. Our router at home is a FritzBox SL that has one USB port and one LAN port. Ubuntu had a module called "usb-eth" that enabled a device eth1 and let me connect to the internet. Any ideas how to find that? I couldn't find it in usb documentation of the arch kernel.
Thanks in advance
David
EDIT: solved. the module is called cdc_ether, everything works fine.

Thanx, I'm waiting for your report :)
EDIT: I have found solution for me. I'm using Logitech USB Keyboard, so I have done this steps:
1] Upgrade mkinitcpio to 0.5.23-1
2] cd /lib/initcpio/install
3] cp usbinput usbinput.backup
4] vim usbinput
and add this:     MODULES="${MODULES} hid-logitech" (you will probably need another hid module, depend on your keyboard - try ls /lib/modules/2.6.27-ARCH/kernel/drivers/hid) after line with MODULES=" $(checked_modules "/usb/host ..." and save it.
5] pacman -S kernel26 (I'm using 2.6.28.2)
6] reboot :)
Good luck!
