Do you have this problem with different modems?

The modem disconnected from the bus. There isn't much you can do about
this on the host side. Either the firmware crashed, or the device
powered down for some other reason.

You could try a powered hub to eliminate any power related problems.
But if the port can power a harddisk spinning up, then I guess it should
handle the 3G modem power spikes too.  Anyway, a hub is a cheap and
simple test.
