Generic USB 2.0 10/100M Ethernet * Adaptor * on (Mac) OS X 10.7 Lion
Before you bash me for writing "adaptor", I just kept the name which is listed when you launch
$ system_profiler SPUSBDataType .
I hope others can reach to this blog with the query above :)
So after digging the internet and have found nothing, I actually found the CD which came together with the USB adapter. I'm uploading the Mac folder from it here just in case you need it too.
Enjoy.

Non-persistent Bluetooth PIN code problem with Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat
After f*cking around with my bluetooth dongle, I found the solution on Ubuntu forum.
In summary, we have:
Problem: Ubuntu can't memorize the PIN code of a Blueetooth device (in my case, Logitech Cordless MediaBoard Pro(TM)). After every boot (or after a while idle) the system will prompt the user to enter a PIN code.
Solution: upgrade bluez to 4.89.
How to:
1. Open Terminal
2. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:brian-rogers/ppa
3. sudo apt-get update
4. sudo apt-get install bluez
5. rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brian-rogers-ppa-maverick.list
Don't forget to remove the repository (step 5) before doing a apt-get upgrade otherwise your whole system will match brian-rogers' repository.
NB: Use the repository at your own risk. The official bluez webpage is http://www.bluez.org/ - but there is no .deb package ready to be used, you'll have to build your own in this case.
Here are my outputs:
htpc@htpc:~$ lsusb

Configure Metasploit and SVN Client behind a proxy
If you're setting up Metasploit and can't seem to make msfupdate to work because you're behind a proxy, here is a fast tip:
# nano /etc/subversion/servers
Scroll down until the end of the file and uncomment the lines below as well as set the appropriate values:
# http-proxy-exceptions = *.exception.com, www.internal-site.org
http-proxy-host = proxy.company.com
http-proxy-port = 3128
Save and run msfupdate and you're good to go :)
