[Bug 35249] acx firmware are not available for the driver

[Étienne Bersac]

Public bug reported:

Affects: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: Medium
     Assignee: Ben Collins
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
Hello,

Firmware for acx100/acx111 based wireless network cards are in
/lib/firemware/acx/*/. The acx driver complain about non existent
firmware because it search for firmware in /lib/firmware only.

Currently, user have to get root privileges in order to cp the correct
firmware. This is very annoying.

If there is no known problems with latest firmware version, we should
use those verions. If it do, we should ask Denis Vlasenko to implement a
way to choose the version (productid -> firmware table ?).

Étienne.
