Conexant AccessRunner ADSL USB modems with Linux

About

This site is intended to provide support for using the ADSL USB modems based on the popular Conexant AccessRunner chipset with Linux. Here you can find out which modems are supported, how to obtain and upload the firmware to the modem, what you need to add the driver to your kernel, and how to establish an Internet connection through your ISP.

Please note that this site is under construction, and many pages are incomplete. Stay tuned!

Credits

Most of the credit goes for Josep Comas, who has created this project on the SF.net, accumulated a lot of information about the AccessRunner chipset, and created and maintained the software bundle needed to use the ADSL USB modems based on this chipset.

He's been helped by a number of brave people who are also to be credited with the creation and the maintenance of this project.

During some period of inactivity Francesco Zuliani provided support and maintenance on his alternative site.

Recent progress of the project was inspired by the advent of the usbatm infrastructure added to the Linux kernel by Duncan Sands and David Woodhouse.
