Thanks Ben for the update. The current state of ACX111-based card on my machine has improved, but there is still one relatively nasty bug. I can set up my wlan connection through iwconfig & dhclient, but both Kubuntu and Ubuntu network managers are unable to work with it. They fail to connect to any wireless network, even if they detect it and the console process (iwconfig & dhclient) works like a charm. Aside from the fact that unskilled users will have trouble with their wireless cards, this behaviour triggers some more bugs. For example in Kubuntu some applications (Kmail mail client, for instance) won't fetch new mail unless the computer is "online" in the eyes of knetworkmanager. Since I have to use the console to set my connection up, I also have to shut down knetworkmanager to enable my network fully.
The problem described above is only an example (and a bug of its own). What I mean is that the state of the ACX111 driver is not yet optimal and I really wish you could fix this last glitch and make the driver compatible with Ubuntu network managers. If you need more debug information, just tell me. -- ACX111-based wireless network card doesn't work with Feisty kernel https://launchpad.net/bugs/81812 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
