There is *ONE* driver in the linux kernel for ADSL2+, and that is the Traverse Solos. It is a two-port PCI (*not* PCIe) card that contains a DSP chip, and a little FPGA running (a svn snapshot of) Traverse's code to translate between the kernel driver and the DSP.
I have one of these at home and it works well. Unfortunately, the line it's on doesn't: the modem loses sync occasionally, as did the ADSL 1 router which it replaced. The line has been patched several times in recent years, so problems aren't surprising. Thus I think the difficulty is in the line, not the modem.
