| I guess I need to recompile my kernel with line 232 enabled?

Yes. You may also need to uncomment the line:
#option NATM
if your ISP requires the use of PPPoA.
In this case, you'll need to use user-ppp since kernel pppd does
not support PPPoA.

| And download the firmware from http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ 
| ueaglefw/ ?

Yes. Unfortunately, Analog Devices have always refused to clarify
the license of this firmware.

| Is there anything else about which any reader of this feels I
| should be warned?

Yes. If your ISP requires the use of PPPoE, ueagle(4) won't work
since there's no support for Ethernet encapsulation over AAL5 in
the kernel.
Also ADSL2+ is not supported because of bandwidth limitations in
USB1.0.  But I've been using ueagle(4) over a IPoA/VCMUX ADSL line
(8Mbits/s downstream) with great success for quite some time.
