This question really should go to the -questions list, but since I just
did a bit of research on this an hour ago, I'll state some of the
general stuff.
USB 2.0 uses the ECHI controller. The driver for this first appeared in
FreeBSD 5.1, and" is not finished and is quite buggy." So don't expect
much off of USB 2.0 for a while.
However, every USB 2.0 motherboard that I am aware of also supports USB
1 through OHCI or UHCI. These work quite well. Your USB modem should
support being connected to OHCI/UHCI, since most people still have USB
1. But check your modem documentation or the manufacturer's website.
