Develop support for WIFI as well as wired USB support. Many Broadband Modems today have USB connectivity but we are unable to use it with Ubuntu.

I think we should only be supporting USB modems if they don't have Ethernet personally. I know my Motorola surfboard had both, but as it turns out, the random once a month crashes I was getting, were caused by the windows USB surfboard drivers. Ethernet is always going to be more stable, so sure, we should definately support USB modems,

but ONLY if there is no ethernet support.

Please list some examples of modems first that don't work.
