Mac USB Networking

Hey all,

  Just got the FR yesterday (nice physical design).  I installed the
patched network driver listed under "Apple CDC Ethernet driver
10.5.x," and the Networking pane shows a USB serial connection, but no
ethernet.  It also does not show up as enXX in ifconfig.

  This is OS X 10.5.4.  I can use dfu-util fine.  But, I haven't found
a way to get the wifi working yet, so the device is networkless.

  Anyone else have a mac with a working usb networking setup?  What'd
you do?  I'll happily update the wiki with the result.

Here's my ifconfig when the device is plugged in (this was right
before I did the dfu-util reflash):
