SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +======================== +ATM cxacru device driver +======================== + +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.
