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.
