Hey, Ive actually been talking to Daron about the D-Link G520+ recently. I may have acidentally reignited his interest in the ACX111 chipsets - whoops :-) Ive also forwarded him your post to freebsd-current. As I understand it he is current working on the ACX111 and bringing in some recent updates from the linux acx100/111 project. I am hoping to be able to help him with the work on the ACX111 chipsets soon, although I have a steep learning curve as I am but a poor Win32 C/C++ programmer. Thanks Adam. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeremie Le Hen" <jeremie.le-hen@epita.fr> To: "Bill Paul" <wpaul@freebsd.org> Cc: "Maxim Sobolev" <sobomax@portaone.com>; <freebsd-current@freebsd.org> Sent: Wednesday, June 16, 2004 5:31 PM Subject: Re: Project Evil & ACX100-based cards (D-Link DWL-520+) > I would like to take advantage of Bill Paul's mail to tell people that > Darron Broad, which is developping the acx(4) driver [1], keeps up > debugging to make ACX111 (which is used in D-Link DWL-520+) work. > > For a long time, there has been a few lines of code in if_acx.c which > prevent the driver from loading on ACX111 chipsets, with the following > CVS log message: > << detect unsupported device, will dump ram to look at it >> > > It seems that Darron removed this check in revision 1.159 a few days ago > and he is apparently actively working on it, given the frequency of > commits last weeks.
