If you're using a new kernel >= 2.6.11, the driver for the usb-serial
(from Texas Instruments) cable is in the kernel.

These are the instructions I gave someone for how I got it working on
SuSE 9.1. Should be easy to 'translate' for your distribution:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
1. Update the hwinfo, udev and mkinitrd packages. You can find them
here:  http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/people/agruen/i386/ 
2. Download the 9.3 kernel from
http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/suse/i386/9.3/suse/i586/kernel-default-2.6.11.4-20a.i586.rpm
 
3. Create an executable script file
called /etc/hotplug/usb/ti_usb_3410_5420
(or /etc/hotplug.d/usb/ti_usb_3410_5052.hotplug depending on yr dist.)
and paste the contents of the attached script.
 
  
4. FINALLY. Create a soft link 
    ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/modem
   
You're done! Run YaST and configure your modem.

Random verse of the day: 
When they go into the tabernacle of the congregation, they shall wash
with water, that they die not; or when they come near to the altar to
minister, to burn offering made by fire unto the LORD: -- Exodus 30:20
