linitx.com can get the Geos although it's not listed on their web site.
And the Solos PCI card *is* listed: http://linitx.com/product/12606

You want the dual-port Solos, not the older Pulsar. It is an ATM device
(well, two ATM devices), properly supported by the upstream kernel via
drivers/atm/solos-pci.c

The Geos is just one (or two) of those on a Geode motherboard.

If the Geos or Solos are too expensive, I'd be looking for other ADSL
devices supported by OpenWrt. Probably Lantiq-based. The Netgear
DGN3500B perhaps (see recent traffic on openwrt-devel).
