I'm trying to do the same thing with a DLink DSL 302G. I hoped that having "DSL" in the name meant it would work just fine. 
All the configuration stuff I have found so far just tells me to use Ethernet.
I'm sure it's possible.....just need to know how.

you will also need to install 'make' before compling the files from source.
I found the following page usefull for the 'BT voyager 105 USB modem' but the same install principles apply:
