(Get the code!)
Just found this page and still can't figure out what are the steps needed to get the ACX111 drivers to work on the Hardy LiveCD.
The Sourceforge project page om the ACX111 is far from clear and seems to point in different directions (what to do) based on the Ubuntu release. There are several mentions in the linked pages to disabling the NetworkManager which I am loath to do since this bug has been around since early 2007.
Here are the steps I've taken so far ....
