Are these the ones?

<http://sourceforge.net/projects/eciadsl/>

If not, they are however supposed to work for your model. You might
want to give them a try, they come with pretty good instructions on
installation, here:

<http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=8485&group_id=30043>

One thing you should make sure to check is that you have usb working
in the first place.

Do you have any other usb devices connected?
Are they working?

If you unplug and reconnect the modem to the usb port, do you get any
notification message at the end of 'dmesg' (just open a terminal and
type 'dmesg')?
