For the modem I am not sure but I have read something about sl-modem
being able to drive some software modems.
For example:

Description: SmartLink software modem daemon
The SmartLink modem daemon is the application part of the
driver for recent modems produced by Smart Link Ltd.
.
This package replaces (along with hardware access drivers) the old
driver generation (2.7.x) which consisted of kernel modules only.
.
It needs a kernel driver to access the hardware. This can be either
recent ALSA (shipped with a newer kernel (>=2.6.4) with Alsa support
and intel8x0m module) which is sufficient for basic operation and
data/Internet connection, or the SmartLink kernel driver which is
provided by separate packages which you can build using the source from
the sl-modem-source package.
For the broadcom, after some searching I determined that apparently this
driver should work: broadcom-bcmwl564-ndis-amd64.tar.bz2 and I imagine a
google search could find whatever place I downloaded that one.
No clue on the camera.
