One Answer:

As you noticed, WinPcap is not able to see those interfaces. So the only remaining options are:

Use Microsoft Network Monitor or Message Analyzer to do the capture
Use USBPcap to capture at USB level the modem traffic and use Wireshark 1.12.1 to visualize it

Are you sure you followed USBPcap tutorial properly? Are USB packets captured, but not decoded, or USB packets are not captured? USB decoding usually needs the USB enumeration capture so as to know how to decode the traffic. Ensure to start USBPcap before plugging you modem.
