[Bug 48107] Wrong firmware picked for us robotics 5416 wlan cards

[Joris Guisson]

Public bug reported:

I just upgraded to dapper, was pleased that it had support for my
wireless lan card. However it picks the wrong firmware images. My card
is a US robotics 5416 (Texas Instruments ACX 111 chipset, it's a PCI
card not a USB dongle)

kubuntu picks firmware version 2.3.1.31, that didn't work so I modprobed
with firmware_ver=1.2.0.30 and that worked right away.

Relevant part of lspci -vv :

Btw, how do I ensure that at boot time the correct firmware images are
chosen ?
