I have tested ACX111 support with yesterday's Gutsy live CD, and the
driver works well with my DWL-G520+ adapter.
NM doesn't pick up the network. However, it's possible to set up a WLAN
connection in the 'old fashioned' way although this requires some
tweaking. In a first time, the adapter doesn't connect to the AP. and
there are error messages reported by 'dmesg':
[ 823.768203] wlan0: association FAILED: peer sent Status Code 18
(Assoc denied: requesting STA doesnt support all data rates in basic
set)
For some reason, the ACX111 driver picks up a rate of 2M as reported by
'iwconfig wlan0' whereas the AP only provides 11M. The problem thus is
not an NM problem in the first place but a driver problem. Available
rates are obtained via 'iwlist':
iwlist wlan0 rates
wlan0 1 available bit-rates :
11 Mb/s
Current Bit Rate=11 Mb/s
After setting the rate to 11M by hand or an entry in 'interfaces', it's
finally possible to bring up the network with 'ifup wlan0' which failed
before. Maybe there is way to configure the AP differently, but I have
no access to it.
