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 .... // ubu...@ubuntu:~$ sudo lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82845 845 [Brookdale] Chipset Host Bridge (rev 03) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82845 845 [Brookdale] Chipset AGP Bridge (rev 03) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev 12) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801BA ISA Bridge (LPC) (rev 12) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801BA IDE U100 Controller (rev 12) 00:1f.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801BA/BAM USB Controller #1 (rev 12) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801BA/BAM SMBus Controller (rev 12) 00:1f.4 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801BA/BAM USB Controller #1 (rev 12) 02:00.0 Network controller: Texas Instruments ACX 111 54Mbps Wireless Interface 02:01.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5500] (rev a1) 02:02.0 Mass storage controller: Silicon Image, Inc.
