If restarting the system (software reboot) solves the problem then maybe
unloading and reloading the USB drivers/modules will work.

If it requires a full power-cycle I'm not sure if a kernel module reload
will accomplish that... assuming the modem draws its power from the USB
port.

Otherwise, the modem manufacturer may have some kind of "reset" tool.

Thanks,
