For ACX111 there are only 2 really supported firmwares, and people have had best results with the first one:
acx111 firmware 1.2.1.34 mirror
acx111 firmware 1.2.0.30 mirror

However, after testing the knot3 cd on my laptop and noticing that wifi wasn't working, I saw that again the 2.3.1.31 firmware is loaded per default. And as stated before, the 0.3.2.1 acx driver shipped by ubuntu does *not* work with the 2.3.1.31 firmware.
The output of 'dmesg | grep acx' states it:
[17179711.988000] acx: firmware 'Rev 2.3.1.31' does not work well with this driver
[17179711.988000] acx: form factor 0x01 ((mini-)PCI / CardBus), radio type 0x16 (Radia), EEPROM version 0x05, uploaded firmware 'Rev 2.3.1.31' (0x03010101)
[17179711.988000] acx v0.3.21: net device wlan0, driver compiled against wireless extensions 20 and Linux 2.6.17-7-generic
So the default firmware for the acx111 driver should be firmware 1.2.1.34 instead of 2.3.1.31
Could anyone please confirm?
