jkjkjk,

To help with usb plug ins we need the VendorID and ProductID which you can get from lsusb, usbview or looking in /proc/bus/usb/devices.

Many USB networking things work with linux but I don't know if the liveCD supports them.

The forcedeth module is referred to as "Reverse Engineered nForce Ethernet support" in the kernel configuration - here:

The forcedeath issue is now solved

jkjkjk,

That shows a single USB root hub (motherboard hardware) with no devices plugged in.
It confirms that your UDB subsystem is alive. Plug your USB gaget in and try again
