No. Well, mabye, if you had the source code (which isn't public, since it's proprietary) and modify it to work with the OpenWrt kernel. Which would likely require intimate knowledge of the driver's inner workings. > On the other hand, I have the original firmware's kernel modules, e.g. > adsldd.ko, which are compiled for some older kernel version (linux > 2.6.8, if I remember correctly).

No. There is no OpenWrt version ever supporting such an old kernel, and the DSL driver requires a heavily modified network stack to work, which you would need to port to OpenWrt first (and re-import the broadcom mips code base so that any kernel functions expected by the driver are present).
