The device is a LinkSys BEFCMU10 Cable Modem.

Actually, I was so desperate to get it working, I bought another
identicle cable modem and I'm using ITS transformer temporarily until I
can get one that will work. Then I will return the new one to the
store. So, I do infact have THE right transformer at this time. What
markings should I look for?

It weighs 5.6 ounces and is 2" x 3.5" x 1.25" in dimension.

Thank you!
