    My short experience (on my boxes and my friend's boxes that I assist)
    with RH and Fedora is:

    1) desktop with USB: it didn't work until an ethernet modem replaced it,
    immediately it connected to Internet, and my friend was happy and USB
    was trashed away
    2) another desktop: the guy is struggling with an Eagle USB modem
    (Sagem) and if you are a newbie like him it is not easy.I suggested to
    switch to Ethernet but he was short of money ;-).
    3) my home network and office network have both an ethernet modem
    connected to a double card box acting as firewall/router for other boxes
    (either Windows or Linux): very easy setup and no trouble during operation.

    Glad to help
