On a related note, the same modem which is in PCIe form factor  is
also packaged as a USB dongle.

Interesting, which modem is it? ADU960S?

I tried the USB dongle on a Ubuntu system today (linux kernel 2.6.32 I
think)  and the device shows up with
cdc-acm associated  ( 4ports  /dev/ttyACM[0-3]) and cdc-ether was also
invoked and the device was mapped to eth1

That looks very good.

The device did respond to AT commands on /dev/ttyACM0  so am hopeful
that it will connect to the network. That is the next step.
As far as cdc-ether is concerned - I've never used that before and
will have to figure out how to communicate APN and phone number to the
device in that mode

Well, the ethernet part of it is actually very easy, just set it up like an normal ethernet wired connection with DHCP.

The modem probably expect some variation of a normal dial procedure (before the ethernet connection is opened). Easiest way to find out for sure is to use the windows driver inside Virtualbox/vmware and then check what the modem gets sent by the windows driver (using Wireshark on the USB port).

You should probably not use the normal PPP protocol. It will probably be something similar that I do with my Samsung modem:
