Hello,

Davis Vlasenko from acx100.sf.net have done a very good job on acx111 support.
The version 0.3.10 of this driver support D-Link G650+ PCMCIA and NetGear
WG311v2 PCI and many others, even with master mode (not very tested).

The naming of firmware have change, this is explain in the ML :
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=7908719&forum_id=31812 .

The driver is now acx or acx_pci or acx_usb. No need to worry about firmware
dir, it now use fully hotplug.

Some success reports : 
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=8199566&forum_id=31812
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=8257927&forum_id=31812
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=8192118&forum_id=31812

A lot of card are with this chipset for example : WG311v1 is with prims, WG311v2
is with acx111. So this is very important to an better hardware support to
handle this driver in the kernel.

Note that davis have submit his driver to the kernel.
