There isn't a generic problem -- my EVDO card (a Verizon PC5740) is a
USB hub with modem, too.  Here's my dmesg (because of what I think is
a hardware issue, I have ehci disabled):

  ohci0 at cardbus0 function 0: NEC USB Host Controller (rev. 0x43)

Do you have

  ugensa* at uhub? port ?
  ucom* at ugensa?

in your kernel config?  I know that some cards require that, plus a
change (in some cases) to make ugensa accept that particular card.
