Wrong. If you read my entire post you would've seen that I mentioned USB. Using USB with a DSL/Cable modem is crap though so I consider not having a network card as making a DSL/Cable modem worthless.
Try using USB with Road Runner...you will be lucky if you can get it to connect at all. If it does connect it takes several minutes each time it tries to transfer/recive data. It is really bad on Motorola Surfboard modems in USB(Those same surfboard modems work wonderfully on a network card).
Roadrunner themselves say "Don't connect your modem to USB with our service".

He just has to use the eciADSL driver and he'll be ok.

Maybe in immature systems like WinXP...
In linux the eciADSL driver performs very good(and is very easy to install).
