ok, i've solved my problem... kind of...

the main problem is usbserial module is not available in the 2.6.28-11 kernel, it's built into the kernel...

first, find the vendor and product id of ur modem, just type "lsusb" in the terminal,

Example:
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 0af0:7211 Option

then, the work-around is add "usbserial.vendor=0xXXXX usbserial.product=0xXXXX" to /boot/grub/menu.lst

Example (Option GTM380):
title Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-11-generic
uuid bd7a0e7b-1038-4409-9d2f-f6a9399fb035
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-generic root=UUID=bd7a0e7b-1038-4409-9d2f-f6a9399fb035 ro quiet splash usbserial.vendor=0x0af0 usbserial.product=0x7211
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-11-generic
quiet

Reboot and u should be able to connect to internet... at least for me... pls feedback if this works for u guys... Thanks!
