No workaround. Not even the 2.3 experimental kernels supports this as of yet. In fact, USB support even in 2.3 is limited to keyboards, mouse and some other items.

Thanks for your help. I have pretty much given up on this one. I installed an ethernet card to bypass this problem. Unfortunately, I can't get that to work either.<br />
If you can help, I have another question posted in the Networking section.<br />

I have a cable modem with a 'USB Ethernet Adapter' going to my USB port. How can I use this in Linux for my internet connection? Since I am very new to Linux, I need a detailed explaination.
