   1 Firmware is required for this device: http://accessrunner.sourceforge.net/
   2
   3 While it is capable of managing/maintaining the ADSL connection without the
   4 module loaded, the device will sometimes stop responding after unloading the
   5 driver and it is necessary to unplug/remove power to the device to fix this.
   6
   7 Detected devices will appear as ATM devices named "cxacru". In /sys/class/atm/
   8 these are directories named cxacruN where N is the device number. A symlink
   9 named device points to the USB interface device's directory which contains
  10 several sysfs attribute files for retrieving device statistics:
  11
  12 * adsl_controller_version
  13
  14 * adsl_headend
  15 * adsl_headend_environment
  16         Information about the remote headend.
  17
  18 * downstream_attenuation (dB)
  19 * downstream_bits_per_frame
  20 * downstream_rate (kbps)
  21 * downstream_snr_margin (dB)
  22         Downstream stats.
  23
  24 * upstream_attenuation (dB)
  25 * upstream_bits_per_frame
  26 * upstream_rate (kbps)
  27 * upstream_snr_margin (dB)
  28 * transmitter_power (dBm/Hz)
  29         Upstream stats.
  30
  31 * downstream_crc_errors
  32 * downstream_fec_errors
  33 * downstream_hec_errors
  34 * upstream_crc_errors
  35 * upstream_fec_errors
  36 * upstream_hec_errors
  37         Error counts.
  38
  39 * line_startable
  40         Indicates that ADSL support on the device
  41         is/can be enabled, see adsl_start.
  42
  43 * line_status
  44         "initialising"
  45         "down"
  46         "attempting to activate"
  47         "training"
  48         "channel analysis"
  49         "exchange"
  50         "waiting"
  51         "up"
  52
  53         Changes between "down" and "attempting to activate"
  54         if there is no signal.
  55
  56 * link_status
  57         "not connected"
  58         "connected"
  59         "lost"
  60
  61 * mac_address
  62
  63 * modulation
  64         "ANSI T1.413"
  65         "ITU-T G.992.1 (G.DMT)"
  66         "ITU-T G.992.2 (G.LITE)"
  67
  68 * startup_attempts
  69         Count of total attempts to initialise ADSL.
  70
  71 To enable/disable ADSL, the following can be written to the adsl_state file:
  72         "start"
  73         "stop
  74         "restart" (stops, waits 1.5s, then starts)
  75         "poll" (used to resume status polling if it was disabled due to failure)
  76
  77 Changes in adsl/line state are reported via kernel log messages:
