No, a normal CAT5 cable will do just fine.
All you usually need to do to change from USB>Ethernet is switch off the modem and computer, plug it in via ethernet making sure that the USB is still not connected and then turn the modem on, leave for 10 seconds then turn the PC on.
Assuming it's one of the silver Ambit modems that is, I have no experience of the older ones.
