If you google for that USB ID you will find it is not supported by Linux.
Therefore, you will should use a switch and connect the main machine to
the ethernet port. Other than that you could ask 2Wire for a Linux
driver, but probably you won't have much luck with that.

Ubuntu is only going to connect to the 2wire with a cat5-6/RJ45
ethernet cable, if your trying to connect ubuntu with usb,
It won't work.
Am I understanding that your trying to connect Ubuntu through a USB ?
If your dual booting XP/Ubuntu , use the ethernet cat 5 cable off of the
2Wire for both operating systems, it will work.
