At least here in Buffalo, NY, Adelphia's cable modems simply require a 10BaseT ethernet card (and kernel support for it:). They give you a box which you plug into your cable line on one side and a 10BaseT wire on the other. The other end of the 10BaseT wires goes into your machine... The only other thing you need (here) is to have DHCP working... A friend of mine has a page about his experiences with it at:
http://www.cs.buffalo.edu/~milun/cable-modem.html
Of course, life on your side of the world might be *very* different... You might want to check your (future) provider's web page for info.
At any rate, I hope this helps, -J
