Is it an internal modem? If so, could you post the output of lspci -v (as root).

Don't use the usb - I had problems with that. Use the ethernet connection.

Sorry I thought it was a traditional modem I didn't read your post very well. So it's connected to your eth0 interface? Have you actually configured the nic properly? Can you show me the output of ifconfig?

Try this command after resetting the power on the modem.

dhclient eth0

Post any error messages.
