The free driver ( http://acx100.sf.net ) is intended for the TI ACX100 chipset, which is mostly documented thanks to reverse-engineering TI's old binary driver for Linux. The support for ACX111 is very partial, down to non-existant. In my experience, I couldn't make ACX111-based D-Link DWL-G520+ work with it (= it can monitor the network but doesn't manage to send). It's supposed to work with NdisWrapper, but...On Wed, 2 Mar 2005, Gabor Szabo wrote:
As you might guess from a previous message I sent to the list I am now in the
"getting 802.11g wireless card into a Linux Notebook" business.
Then I did some research and from the various sites I found I understand that basically only cards with Prism54 chip set are well supported. (Am I correct here ?)
Not exactly.
I searched on ZAP, and in the low price range (<250) saw:
Edimax 7108 - uses ralink rt2500, has free driver (but it's not part of the distributions yet).
Trendnet 421PC - uses TI acx111, has free driver (but it's not part of
the distributions yet).
.. why buy TI (which doesn't release datasheets and ignores the ACX100 team's requests) when you can buy RaLink (released fully-GPLd driver, though a bit immature) or Athereos (non-free, partially open-source, driver) ?
