This doesn't handle the case where you have multiple interfaces (it will 
simply fail)
May I suggest:

sudo modprobe usbnet && sudo pump -i  `dmesg | grep CDC | awk -F: ‘{ 
print $1; }' | tail -1`  

Actually, the most robust approach would be:
sudo  modprobe  usbnet  &&   for  face  in  `dmesg | grep CDC | awk -F: 
‘{ print $1; }’ | sort  -u`  ;  do
   sudo pump -i  $face 
done

If you want to do this without /usr (which is not loaded during parts of 
the boot process), then you can use:

` dmesg | sed -n '/CDC/s/:.*//p' `
 (a bit more cryptic, but more efficient -- althought it doesn't filter 
out dups)

so you end up with:
sudo  modprobe  usbnet  &&   for  iface  in  `dmesg | sed -n 
'/CDC/s/:.*//p' ` ; do sudo pump -i $iface ; done
