										 |  |  | Firmware is required for this device: http://accessrunner.sourceforge.net/ | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | While it is capable of managing/maintaining the ADSL connection without the | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | module loaded, the device will sometimes stop responding after unloading the | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | driver and it is necessary to unplug/remove power to the device to fix this. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |

										 |  |  | Note: support for cxacru-cf.bin has been removed. It was not loaded correctly | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | so it had no effect on the device configuration. Fixing it could have stopped | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | existing devices working when an invalid configuration is supplied. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | There is a script cxacru-cf.py to convert an existing file to the sysfs form. |

										 |  |  | Detected devices will appear as ATM devices named "cxacru". In /sys/class/atm/ | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | these are directories named cxacruN where N is the device number. A symlink | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | named device points to the USB interface device's directory which contains | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | several sysfs attribute files for retrieving device statistics: |
