Does the modem have an ethernet port? If so that is very easy to set
up. I have not yet configured a Dataone connection using USB.

Hello try this, i got the net connection installed in this way and it is working properly( dataone broadband connection with DSL modem)
Here's the trick ( if at all it could be called that!) for those novices ( obviously like me! ) who haven't yet had luck configuring their systems.
1> Switch off your modem
2>Open the Network settings Dialog box ( System> Administration> Network)
3>Select 'Wired Connection' and click on the Properties.
4> In the 'Connection Settings' Menu select 'Static IP ' type in the following values and save:
IP Address : 192.168.1.2
/* Assigning the Ethernet Card an IP different from that of the modem*/
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
/* No idea why this value is always this */
Gateway address: 192.168.1.1
/* The Modem is being made the default gateway*/
5>Switch on the Modem and wait for a few minutes for the values to get recorded.
6>In the Terminal ( Applications>Accessories> Terminal) type 'sudo pppoeconf'
6>A window pops with a blue screen notifying that an ethernet device has
been found. Just follow the on screen instructions till you reach the screen
which asks you for your BSNL UID and PASS. Ping in the values (after deleting
the text Username from the line) and you're done!!
But you have to install pppoe before that or download it from the net .
#ifconfig -a will list all the available network interfaces

Here eth0 and eth1 are Ethernet interfaces (NIC) and eth2 is the usb
interface
the /etc/network/ interface file has only two lines as given below
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
I have not configured any IPs in system->administration ->Network
the USB connection is appearing in connection tab as Wired connection
with roaming mode enabled

Can you post the output of lsusb? If nothing works, you can get an
ethernet card for around Rs. 275/- and solve your problem :).

What is your current configuration? Why did you want to upgrade? It is
normally a waste of money.
