Assuming your USB-ADSL modem does not need funkey firmware binary loaded, you may get this system working. If your so called "USB-ADSL modem" is internally combination of "USB-ethernet" adapter plus "ADSL modem", you just need to enable supporting kernel module for "USB-ethernet" adapter and use pppoeconf. I guess you may need usbnet module. http://www.linux-usb.org/usbnet/ Good luck.

I do not understand what you mean but posting model number or doing googling on it may help you.
