It looks like you've obtained a Linux driver.  FreeBSD isn't Linux, it's BSD.

You might take a look at dmesg and see whether FreeBSD already recognizes it, 
otherwise, it would help if you provided more detail about what your ADSL 
modem is and how it's connected (ie, ethernet, USB, serial port?)...
