Developer suggests loading appropriate firmware first. You also need to use specialized acxtool, it is installed by the port. See (at the bottom): http://dev.kewl.org/acx100+111/ (and man page if_axc(4) too).

Just ifconfig without arguments? The author says you should use ifconfig only to configure ip address. For anything else he suggests to use 'acxtool'. Can you give it a try? > robert. > Thanks so far, Alexey.
