Subject: cxacru: USB ethernet port of CX82310-based ADSL routers?

Hello,
I have an ADSL router based on Conexant CX82310 chip. This chip provides both
ethernet and USB interfaces. The ethernet interface is often internally
connected to a 5-port switch (in my case too). The USB interface works as an
ethernet card in Windows (using proprietary driver). In Linux, the cxacru
driver binds to the device but does not work (no wonder - it's doing firmware
things in an attempt to bring an ADSL modem up).

I captured a log from Windows (device connect, DHCP and disconnect):
http://www.rainbow-software.org/linux_files/cx82310/cx-run-dhcp.log

The commands seem to match the enums in cxacru
driver (and go to endpoint 1):
0x84, 0x85, 0x90, 0x91, 0x92, 0x99 (unknown)
Data goes to/from endpoint 2 as ethernet frames (with something at the
beginning).

I wonder how to implement support for this device in cxacru driver. Or would
be a separate driver better?
