How to get USB / Ethernet (NIC) working on MS Windows CE 5.0 ?

I need to get USB / Ethernet working on MS Windows CE 5.0.
Firstly, which device supports it ?
I was trying to use NETGEAR FA120. According to the tech. manual, Win
CE is NOT supported.

We are using Windows CE ver. 5.0 in our product and I have been trying
to get the RNDIS working; but have not been successful so far.
I have a NETGEAR Model FA120 USB / Ethernet adapter (NIC) plugged into
the USB port of our product running WinCE 5.0.

Is NETGEAR FA120 supported on Windows CE ? Their spec. does not list
Win CE (it lists 98, ME, 2000 and XP)

As soon as I plug in the NETGEAR NIC, I get the message 'Unidentified
USB Device' on my application console.
When I type the Driver name 'USB8023.DLL', I get the message :

1 returning NULL.

I believe RNDISMP.DLL and USB8023.DLL are part of WinCE 5.0. How can I
get it working so that the driver of the USB / Ethernet NIC plugged
into the USB port is recognized ?
We do not have the source code for USB8023.DLL (part of Microsoft
library).

The USB port itself on our product works as plugging a USB flash drive
works.
