Most likely you'll need to install a special driver.

No, that makes no sense.
I have a Sagem Fast 800 USB here that sort of works, it's good
enough for me when I'm home, but not reliable enough for a server,
sometimes it loses connection and then (of course) the machine
can no longer be reached from outside.
If I really needed to I could try a newer driver and/or a watchdog
that restarts it, though.
