acx1xx#
Warning
There is legal controversy surrounding the development of thisdriver, see the wireless mailing list for more information. Untilthat is cleared, we suggest to not use or download this driver. Seekernel inclusion section forsome background information on the previous attempt to include it inthe mainline kernel.
acx100 was a project started by Andreas Mohrto create a free open source driver for the acx100 chipset from TexasInstruments. Later produced acx111 chipsets, which can be found on PCI,PCMCIA or USB devices, are also supported.
Currently, the driver is working quite reliably, but it does not supportWPA encryption and uses a home-grown wireless stack. The main focus ofdevelopment is now the port to the mac80211 kernel stack. This mac80211port is still in alpha status, but there have even been some successreports of it working.

A complete list of devices known to work with acx1xx can he found onthe acx100 wiki
If you put lists here like bcm43xx does it’s far easier for people tofind out about this driver since it’ll be listed onen/users/Devices/PCIanden/users/Devices/USB.
