This is not with Ubuntu, but I thought I must pst this experience.

I installed FC7 at a friends place . He has the white coloured modem(its UTStar Modem I think) from MTNL and connected via USB as his LAN card is not working. In FC7 in the network configuration GUI , the USB ethernet interface (it was ETH1 there) is autodetected as USB ethernet device in the hardware tab , and just worked by enabling it and setting it to DHCP. We also disabled the ETH0 interface from the GUI as it was not working anyway.
