[Bug 30766] Re: default firmware not working for acx d-link dwl-g650+

>From what i undestand it is not firmware problem.
Daper Drake has driver version 3.21.
(version available via iwconfig wlan0 command -> nickname)

Changelog from website http://acx100.erley.org/ where the driver is
developed (only important parts)::

[20060126] 0.3.31
* fix bug uncovered by code added in support for firmware 2.3.1.31
[20060124] 0.3.30
* fix breakage introduced by vda
* Bas Vermeulen <bvermeul at blackstar.xs4all.nl>:
  support for firmware 2.3.1.31
[20060108] 0.3.25
* fix scanning breakage

Also the new driver looks for firmware in /lib/firmware directory, so it
is visible to all kernel versions.

I am new in Linux but I spent a lot of time installing my DLink G650+,
and I think the best solution is to use the newest driver in Ubuntu:

http://acx100.erley.org/acx-20060521.tar.bz2

Including the new driver in Daper's kernel's modules would help many acx
100/111 users.

If it's possible I would be really grateful for saving my time each time I set up new kernel.
-- 
PS.I currently use driver v. 3.35 (acx-20060215.tar.bz2) , I haven't checked the newest one yet.
PS2. Installing with compiling of the whole kernel is explained in drivers README file.
