If your "modem" is connect by Ethernet, then it's probably a router/modem/switch combo device. Those don't even need drivers. You just go to its IP and configure it there and Linux will get internet access through Ethernet. If it's a USB-only device, then it's a simple modem and you will have to pray there are Linux drivers for it.
