Problems with the 'free' usb modems,that can come with a new Broad band connection,seem to be rather too common.A Bb router solution,if you have more than one PC,is great. But,why not just have an internal ADSL modem? Cheaper and simpler?No Usb power issues?
Would be good to have ease of install/configuration,which I'm sure you do anyway, but that's what I'm thinking at the mo'.

I take my hat off to all the people working on open source-we really would be up a certain creek without them.
