In this paper we establish the existence of positive and multiple solutions for the quasilinear elliptic problem

$-\Delta_p u = g(x,u)$  in  $\Omega$
$u = 0$  on  $\partial \Omega$,

where $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$ is an open bounded domain with smooth boundary $\partial \Omega$, $g:\Omega\times\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ is a Carathéodory function such that $g(x,0)=0$ and which is asymptotically linear. We suppose that $g(x,t)/t$ tends to an $L^r$-function, $r>N/p$ if 1 < p ≤ N and $r=1$ if $p>N$, which can change sign. We consider both the resonant and the nonresonant cases.
