What do you get when you enter this from a terminal:

lsusb

That should return info on the device if it actually sees it, such as I
get for this on my USB ethernet adaper:

Bus 001 Device 002: ID ob95:7720 ASIX Electronics Corp.

If lsusb returns no device information then Edgy isn't seeing the device
at all.

Without the 2wire model number I'm not sure that I can help much further.

FWIW: On one of my systems I use a USB ethernet adapter: Airlink 101
(see: http://www.airlink101.com/products/asohousb.html) and it popped
right in without having to add any special drivers. I simply added the
IP address, net mask, and gateway (192.168.0.1 for my router) and off it
went. That adapter however goes from the USB to an ethernet port on my
router.

Given your posting IP, I'm assuming that you might be trying to use
something like a 2wire Homeportal 1800HW on Unimex. If that is the case
you might find these links helpful (or not):

Last question: When you boot with the Live CD does it work? Can you
browse the network etc via the live CD?
