It's an ethernet/USB modem. Should work with Linux fine if you use the ethernet port.

Buy a router, something like http://www.netgear.com/products/details/WGT624.php and use the ethernet cable from the modem and stick that in to the inbound connection of the router, then hook up the pc's via ethernet or wireless to the router and bob's your uncle.
