You don't need the source code for the ethernet card that they sell
you.  You can simply buy an ethernet card that you know works with
your OS.

Like the guy said, the cable modem is an external device. It talks
10BaseT on one end and cable network on the other.  This information
is in their FAQ.  http://www.tci.net/tcinet.pgs/athomeframe.html

You should consider yourself fortunate, receiving such a UNIX friendly 
response.
