Public bug reported: 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://acx100.sourceforge.net/wiki/Distribution_list/Ubuntu (look for the addition made January 4th, 2007) I was able to connect to my network again. 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/`uname -r`/acx/default (symlink to ../1.2.1.34 directory). Note that I'm not familiar with Linux kernel/driver/firmware development at all. I'm hoping that these steps give a more knowledgeable person an indication that enables him/her to fix the problem constructively. Basically, what I did was this: # cd /usr/src/ # wget http://lisas.de/~andi/acx100/acx-20070101.tar.bz2 # tar xjvf acx-20070101.tar.bz2 # cd acx-20070101 # make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd` # lsmod | grep acx # modprobe -r acx # cp /lib/firmware/`uname -r`/acx/default/tiacx111c16 /lib/firmware/ # insmod ./acx.ko ** Affects: linux-source-2.6.20 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Current ACX driver will not let USR5410 card function properly. https://launchpad.net/bugs/78513 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
