Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.20
Using Feisty (dist-upgraded January 8th, 2007), my US Robotics USR5410 card wouldn't work properly (while it worked fine in Ubuntu 6.10).
The card uses the ACX driver. Following instructions on http://
The most eye-catching symptoms where that one of the LEDs on the card was active and that there's a wlan0 reported by iwconfig, but wlan0 is labelled 'no wireless extensions' by iwconfig.
I ended up downloading the driver tarball again, recompiling it and using that. There was no need to download another firmware version - I used the tiacx111c16 firmware that is provided in the 'default' folder in /lib/firmware/
Note that I'm not familiar with Linux kernel/
Basically, what I did was this:
# cd /usr/src/
# wget http://
# tar xjvf acx-20070101.
# cd acx-20070101
# make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd`
# lsmod | grep acx
# modprobe -r acx
# cp /lib/firmware/
# insmod ./acx.ko

I have the same problem on a D-Link DWL-650+. The newer driver did NOT work for me, and the older snapshots do not compile anymore due to driver API changes.
