Sure. They're gzipped tar files of stuff. The names are
actiontec_opensrc_mi424wr_fw-56-0-10-7.tar.gz and
actiontec_opensrc_mi424wr-rev-acd_fw-56-0-10-11-6.tgz

The top-level README file says
    This release includes all the GPL and LGPL source code and scripts used
    by Actiontec to build their firmware. This build will support router models
    MI424WR, KI414WG, VI424WG, BA212WG and RI408. To build for MI424WR
    $ cd rg
    $ make config CONFIG_RG_GPL=y DIST=MI424WR LIC=../jpkg_actiontec_gpl.lic && 
make

    To build for other models replace MI424WR above with the right model.

    The makefile in the ditribution expects Jungo's openrg GCC 3.3.2 based 
compiler
    at /usr/local/openrg. Both x86 (i386-jungo-linux-gnu) and arm 
(armv5b-jungo-linux-gnu)
    compiler should be installed.

    All the files are uncompressed from flash into ram during bootup. If you 
want to
    install new files on the ram disk you can use tftp as follows:
    1.Enable local administration, telnet support.
    2.Telenet to the router
    3.Shell command will get user to sh prompt.
    4.tftp get serverip:serverfile localfile, serverfile is the name of the 
file residing
      on the server and localfile is the localfile name.
