Note: I'm reporducing the steps here verbatim in case others find this
while searching the mailing list.

I found the model number (F5D5050) for the adapter on Belkin's site:
http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=104991

Then regarding support, I found this page:
http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=791

on this site:
http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/

via this site:
http://www.linux-usb.org/

and lastly using "make ARCH=arm menuconfig" in the buildroot, I went to
the following Linux kernel configuration menu:
Device Drivers
 -> USB support
  -> USB Network Adapters

I enabled: "USB Pegasus/Pegasus-II based ethernet device support"

Then for good measure, I checked the driver itself.

hchapman@dev1:~/gumstix-buildroot/build_arm_nofpu/linux-2.6.21gum/drivers/usb/net$
grep F5D5050 pegasus.h
PEGASUS_DEV( "Belkin F5D5050 USB Ethernet", VENDOR_BELKIN, 0x0121,




I'll let you know next week how it works.
