[acx111] default firmware not working for acx d-link dwl-g650+

Marked as a duplicate

I'm Testing an ACX111 based Zyxel G-360 on Kubuntu Edgy:

As you can see at the following output, i've tryed a lot of firmware to get working with edgy. But with no success.

root@edgy:/lib/firmware/2.6.17-10-386/acx# dmesg | grep acx

As described in the following wiki, it should work in edgy.
http://acx100.sourceforge.net/wiki/Distribution_list/Ubuntu

I would try to follow the build instructions...

> As described in the following wiki, it should work in edgy.

Note that the wiki says "it seems to work", not that "it should". I happen to be the one who wrote that, and chose the wording with caution, since that statement is based on own experience (I own an acx11-based DWL-G650+) and on posts from the ubuntu forums.

This bug is about the incorrect firmware being loaded at startup.

Your problem is that your wifi card (or the driver) is not functioning properly I would rather post a separate bug for that, specifying *exactly* what is not working.

A quick search on the forums seems to hint that such a card should be working with the acx driver (http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=278692&highlight=Zyxel+G-360), but have you checked that such card is supported by the driver?

Hi

Thanks for answering so far... I've read a lot of threads and it seems to
me, that none of them got a working solution for a zyxel G-360 on edgy eft
using kernel 2.6.17-10.

To figure this out, I've created a thread
http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=313453

In Edgy Eft there are several Firmwareversions included. I've tested them
all with adding "options acx firmware_ ver=1.2. 1.34" in

/etc/modprobe.d/options

I also tried to compile my own driver for edgy as described in
http://acx100.sourceforge.net/wiki/ACX

but without Luck.

I also tried to use ndiswrapper with the same bad result.

Dmesg ¦ grep acx

Give me all the time a timing error as a matter of wrong firmware.

The last thing I try to figure out is IRQ-Problems. I've read in a thread,
that someone had such a problem.

If I am sure that I've tried all I could, I'll open a bug-report with
all my informations.

If you also have any ideas/hints to test, please send them to me.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards.
Gérald Eggenberger
