Nope, the current 3G support is intended for dial-up style modems using
a "serial" connection.

Not right now.

If the kernel supports this device, this shouldn't be too hard to get
this working in a crude way for you (though supporting it properly and
officially is more complicated).

I looked through the kernel driver list for USB network cards (run
"make kernel_menuconfig" from the "openwrt" directory of the source tree
and head over to USB Support -> USB Network Adapters) and it seems most
of the drivers are already included in the firmware.

If one of these drivers in fact supports this device, then plugging it
in on your Fonera should give some output in dmesg / logread that shows
a network device is created. Perhaps it helps to compare the dmesg
output to the same output on your Ubuntu machine to find out which
driver is needed.

If there is indeed a USB net device created, I think it should be as
simple as changing the /lib/fon/config.sh script to change the line:
                 wan_ifname="eth0.2"
to use the usb net device name instead of the eth0.2 device name.
Setting up something to automatically switch between wired and 3G is a
bit more complicated, of course.
