You don't need any special drivers. Mac OS X or 9 should work with any DSL or cable modem without installing a thing. You just have to set up your Control Panel or System Preference panel correctly. If you need help doing so, I or others on this list can give you the settings you need.
You might want to start with how your OS X Network system preference panel is set. It should be set to "Built-in Ethernet" (assuming an Ethernet connection between modem and computer) and configuration is "Using DHCP".
