I think there is a general usb driver problem on Raspi. Google the  
"Elephant in the room" topic on Raspi forum. I think there are some  
improvments. My 3G modem started to work after one of the updates but  
maybe winter will come before it's fixed for good.

In the mean time You can use i2c<->1-wire converter. I don't know if  
anyone tested it extensively.

You could also try to solder a wire to the polyfuse for the USB port. The  
new boards have those polyfuses replaced with 0 ohm resistors.
