So that's as far as I've got. I can't see /dev/eth0, which I would expect. ifconfig just shows my loopback device (should it show more?)
On Linux ethernet devices don't get device nodes, so you won't see any network devices in /dev. Also, ifconfig will only show you configured ethernet devices (unless you ask it to show you them all); since your new USB device isn't configured, it's not showing up on the list.
What you need to do is:
ifconfig -a
...which will tell you the name of the network device, and then:
ifconfig [name] up [ipaddress] netmask [netmask] gw [gateway]
...to configure it. From there it ought to work, though you may need to tweak the routing table (use the 'route' command) and the DNS setup (/etc/resolv.conf) first.
