Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-restricte
Many people think that acx111 not working is a firmware problem, but from what i undestand it is driver's issue.
Daper Drake has driver version 3.21.
(ver. available via command >iwconfig wlan0 [look for nickname])
Changelog from website http://
[20060126] 0.3.31
* fix bug uncovered by code added in support for firmware 2.3.1.31
[20060124] 0.3.30
* fix breakage introduced by vda
* Bas Vermeulen <email address hidden>:
support for firmware 2.3.1.31
[20060108] 0.3.25
* fix scanning breakage
Also the new driver looks for firmware in /lib/firmware directory, so it is visible to all kernel versions.
Newest driver (check README for info):

Including the new driver in Daper's kernel's modules would help many acx 100/111 users. If it's possible I would be really grateful for saving my time each time I set up new kernel.

PS.I currently use driver v. 3.35 (acx-20060215.

I think the best way is to upgrade the driver and use the newest open source firmware.
