Newbie question: hacking a modem to use its usb port with android usb eth0?

Hello there,

I am newbie to modem hacking and could not find any answer to my question.

I have a webstar 2100 and with the original cisco firmware, I can't connect to the Internet using the usb port of the modem to the eth0 usb port of my android device. Probably because of the lack of drivers as only the mac address of the modem is recognized.

So I do wonder: if I hack my modem, will this be helpful in some kind of ways to solve the problem? My system is know to be working great with asix chipset...

Thanks,

canadien
