USB support is still very new to Linux and it is possible that your USB modem
does not have any drivers supporting it. Your first challenge will be to try
and find drivers which drive your USB modem.

See ya

Linux USB support is still very thin, at best. You should just pick up a
cheap NE2000 PCI NIC for $10-15, and avoid USB all together. (Assuming
your cable modem has an Ethernet interface, which it probably does)
