It appears that the device in the Motorola modem is connected somehow via Ethernet, and that commands are sent to the device using special ethernet packets. The USB devices at least need firmware downloads and I also couldn't find anything interesting in those sources about dumping firmware to the Beceem device in there. So while that source dump isn't entirely useful for the USB devices that everyone wants drivers for, it should at least be helpful in writing the USB dongle driver since it's for the same chips more or less.
