AFAIK (which might not be much), you don't need a driver for the modem. What you do need depends on how your modem connects to your computer.

If this is done with ethernet, then you need to support PPPoE (or Point To Point Protocol over Ethernet) and a driver for your ethernet card.

If this is done with USB, then you need support for PPPoA (or Point To Point Protocol over ATM), and a driver for your USB controller.

For a quick overview, take a look at the Wikipedia pages for them:

• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-to-Point_Protocol_over_Ethernet
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-to-Point_Protocol_over_ATM

These pages have links to the RFC's....

That's a USB adsl modem right? I have one of those too.

There is Linux & BSD drivers with source at http://eciadsl.flashtux.org/index.php?lang=en

You might be able to figure out something from their code.
