(lsusb details at the bottom of the post)
I've been trying to get my Raspberry Pi (running Raspbian) online, and I've been following a guide, which suggests Sakis3g.
I've installed ppp, a few different versions of lib-usb and (perhaps mistakenly) usb-modeswitch.
I can run the Sakis script (currently trying to use the binary-free version), but it says "Illegal instruction" and returns me to the menu. I have tried running it in debug mode to see what's going wrong, but I can't really make head nor tail of it:

If anyone has any suggestions on what's going wrong and/or what I can try differently, I'd appreciate it.
Update
I've checked my version of Linux, and although I can't remember exactly what it said, I know it contained the words "Raspbian", "Wheezy" and "sid".
I've been trying to follow BigCowPi's guide, which begins by checking that the USB device is connected with lsusb.
However, running that just prints a message saying Illegal Instruction (the same as sakis3g). I've tried reinstalling usbutils and its dependency libusb-1.0-0 (both the armhf versions), but that doesn't change the situation.
I'm getting decidedly stuck at this point - I don't know why these things keep saying Illegal Instruction, and I'd really appreciate further advice or ideas if anyone has some.
Second Update (file & ldd)
As per gurcanozturk's request, here's the output from file /usr/bin/lsusb:

Update 3
/etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ wheezy main contrib non-free rpi
/etc/apt/sources.list.d contains one file, raspi.list:
deb http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/ wheezy main
/etc/apt/preferences.d is an empty directory.
I've tried to install a version of libusb-0.1-4_0.1.12-23.2_armhf.deb from the address given in sources.list, which now says it needs a newer version of libc6. I have 2.13 and it needs >=2.15.
/etc/apt/source.listand/etc/apt/source.list.d/*. In short: it seems you are using a vanilla debian sid repository, which is built for armv7, while raspbian wheezy is a armv6 + hard float build. Checking/etc/apt/preferencesmight be a good idea too.
