I doubt it, other than the binary driver. My advice is to get a wireless card that is already supported under linux without the binary driver from linuxant. That way there's nothing to conflict with your modem's binary driver. Any wireless card based on the Atheros chipset is supported by a partially open-source driver (part is closed, but it doesn't rely on the hacks that linuxant uses). It should coexist nicely with your winmodem.
