Well I have right here in this forum. In fact I do remember activating my Motorola broadband modem on Mandriva 2006 by conecting it via USB. It is possible just that it will take some effort. I will just point to the thread maybe that can help. Here's the thread Browsing net via FC4.
Vignesh which stage does the problem lie? Is the modem detected?
