I've been working with Marc Boucher (who is doing the linux drivers for Conexant) during OLS and we had the driver working for the modem used by Apple. It's still not fully tested and has some bugs, but you can expect a preliminary package soon, it will be hosted along with the other HCF and HSF drivers on Marc's page (sorry, I don't have the URL at hand). The core modem engine is binary only, but it's wrapped in a "shell" driver which is opensource, meaning one can still recompile it for a newer kernel version, so it isn't as bad as a completely binary driver.
