Specifically, the module asks for tiacx111usbc1B, but the archive only has tiacx100usb, no tiacx111usb*, and the radio module IDs (last two characters) for ACX111 include 16, 17 and 19, but not 1B. Also, http://acx100.sourceforge.net/wiki/Firmware has this not very encouraging note: * The new TNETW1450 (USB 2.0 capable chipset) isn't fully supported by our driver yet (useful support probably available soon). [This is as of Feb. 2006 - still not supported?] Btw, about two times out of three, after plugging it in, the device even fails to activate in Mass Storage mode, endlessly reporting: Aug 2 20:14:05 compaq kernel: usb 2-2: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 12 Aug 2 20:14:20 compaq kernel: usb 2-2: device descriptor read/64, error -110 (ie. ETIMEDOUT) and never switching to WLAN mode. Unplugging and plugging back in a couple of times succeeds eventually. Anything else I should test? Thanks, Tilman
