modem on USB and workaround

[Rakotomandimby Mihamina]

Hi,
I will be provided a modem for my internet connection:
A ZTE MG 478 device.
I searched on the web if it is usable under Linux (Ubuntu) and it is:
http://platonic.techfiz.info/2008/03/04/hacking-bsnl-evdo-on-linux/

The link above indicates a  workaround on Ubuntus for the usbFS.
Is it the best way to do? Are there any other ways?
Should I file a bug on LP about this workaround?

Thank you.
