Your modem most probably does have a ethernet port. Since your modem is not at all being detected, when connected through USB, buying an ethernet card for your PC may not be a bad option. PCI Ethernet cards (Frontech or Intex) are available for less than Rs. 150/- almost anywhere in India. I have two of these cheap Intex cards (Rs. 140/- each) and they are working fine since the last 2.5years.
