I had a similar problem. The issue is not your computer. The Zuku connection at their server end normally caches mac addresses, I don't really know the process but, Sometimes some computers work while some don't.

The solution is conect to the connection, clear your config e.g
sudo ifdown -a

reboot the device while connected to your computer

Reconfigure your computer after the zuku device is on
sudo ifup -a

It may not work immediately but keep trying. If it does not work, call Zuku and tell them to clear their cache on your connection.

I would also like to see your ifconfig status when the link is connected.

Also send us your log file - when you connect the ethernet.

Could there be a mac-address conflict between the two - its rare but
does happen.
