If you don't mind me joining in here Billy, I'd say leave it alone too. Just to add to that, if you did decide to use an ethernet modem in the future you might find your system speeds up a bit because, as I understand it, no load is imposed on the CPU as I think is usually the case with USB modems.

Unless of course it is a separate card, if which case you can pull it out of the system. It's not going to do any harm, and it really doesn't take up enough resource to loose any sleep over.
