You made me quite confused now. Are you talking about ADSL USB modems? or Cable modem (from your topic)? And about your question - in general, no. It depends on what kind of "support" they will give for your modem (note that it is for your modem). Nobody said (unless it's written as an agreement between two sides), that they have to support a specific OS which you would like to use. Most likely they will give you drivers (yes, for Windows), which means that they support Windows (and this is your responsibility to use it in Linux). With cable modems there are no problems whatsoever, as much as I know. With ADSL modems, there are many stories (and that's why all the HOWTOs for them arrived :), and I don't know specifically which modem works well and which doesn't (I know that Alcatel works well, if you meant ADSL modems...).
