Im unable to sniff packet, Im using an HSDPA USB Modem and wireshark is not recognizing my modem, anyway around?

On what operating system are you running Wireshark?

This is probably an issue with the modem, its drivers, the OS's networking stack and, on Windows, WinPcap, not an issue with Wireshark itself (Wireshark uses libpcap on UN*X and WinPcap on Windows to do traffic capture).
