I run adsl-start on startup so i don't have that problem, but you can try by giving the correct permissions running: chmod a+x /path/to/adsl-start

Edit: I've just remembered it's on /usr/sbin, so the best way to do this would be using sudo. Run "visudo" goto the end with the arrow keys, press O. Type: %users ALL= NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/adsl-start . Hit ESC then press :wq and ENTER.
To run adsl-start as a user type: sudo /usr/sbin/adsl-start

Just put adsl-start in /etc/rc.d/rc.local
and it'll be run on boot.
