Well, the magic of USB drivers comes from taking the device IDs into the local libraries and then out on the net to find a match, so first try it on a machine on the Internet, prefereably your machine. You can pull the cable, and if necessary NIC, later.

You can put it on a windows PC and inspect the IDs of all the bits in the Device Manager and by connection view. Then, you can Google for compatible drivers to install on LINUX.

Visitng the phone manufacturer web site is also a great place to find drivers. I am not sure droids and such are so uniform inside that drivers have gotten portable. I am amazed my older smartphone can get multiple free browsers to run!

Once it is running, some models cannot be phones while in PAM DUN mode, but you can Skype out!
