madwifi is reverse engineered for a while now, and recently the Software
Freedom Law Center lawyers have judged that as being done ok; so expect
to see a real free driver for that hardware soon, and once it exists I'm
sure it'll be in fedora proper

for winmodems there is a legal solution at least; just use the alsa
sound driver + the userspace daemon that "whistles" modem noises into
the "sound card".
but I pitty everyone who still needs to use a modem. It's... painful.
