USB Modem - how to connect?

Hi

I currently have a Fujitsu USB ADSL WAN Modem (FDX310). I want to set
up a home wireless network so I got a D-Link PCI card and a D-Link
Airplus Xtreme G DI-624 wireless router.

PCI card installed fine, but how the hell do I connect the USB modem to
the wireless router? The Cable supplied with the router is an ethernet
cable but the only connections to the USB modem are the USB point which
it draws it's power from and a Wan cable socket which is obviously a
different size.

Is there anything I can do other than bite the the bullet and get a
combined adsl modem/router?

TIA

1. Use the USB modem on a PC and use ICS to share via ethernet into
the wireless thingy
2. Buy an ethernet modem having carefully researched that it is
compatible. DLink do such a thing, ADSL Nation X-modem, Westell 6000
3. Get a combined all-in-one wireless modem router in one instead.

The dlink.co.uk site says:
Note
DSL-xxxx Products include an built in modem - no other modem is
required.
DI-xxxx Products do not include an ADSL modem and are intended for use
with Cable Modems. A DSL-300T can be use with DI-xxx products for use
on ADSL networks.

So the DSL-300T is the extra thing for £40 or so
