Public bug reported:

I use Dapper Drake Flight7

The /lib/firmware/2.6.15-21-386/acx/readme.txt indicates the acx111 PCI
default firmware is set to the "2.3.1.31" version.

But this version doesn't work properly with this card :
I can't scan my WirelessAccesssPoint (Even if the device is well detected and activated in 'network-admin').

Looking at acx100.sourceforge.net, I found that the lastest version
working properly with this device is the "1.2.0.30"

So I resolve the problem this way :
sudo rmmod acx;
sudo modprobe acx firmware=1.2.0.30;

But it would be greater if the good firmware was loaded automaticaly at
boot time.

Thanks for care.
