[Bug 102682] a Fix for running Ubuntu Server edition 6.10 over wireless

[wahlberg]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.15

I have a Xterasys XN-2524G wireless card in my desktop computer which
registers in Ubuntu Desktop version as:  Texas Instruments ACX 111
54Mbps Wireless Interface

When trying to run Ubuntu Server 6.10 I get the error:

Starting up ...
firmware_helper[2706]: main: error loading '/lib/firmware/acx/default/tiacx111'
for device '/class/firmware/0000:00:09.0' with driver 'acx_pci'

firmware_helper[2692] main: error loading '/lib/firmware/acx/default/tiacx111c1
6' for device '/class/firmware/0000:00:09.0' with driver 'acx_pci'

looking in /lib/firmware, there is no acx directory.  Looking in
/lib/firmware/2.6.17-10-server there is no acx, or default directories,
and no tiacx* files.

so I archived the /lib/firmware/2.6.17-11-generic folder from the
desktop version, and moved it to the server version in /lib/firmware

Then I created /lib/firmware/acx and /lib/firmware/acx/default directories
then I copied the files as follows:  cp /lib/firmware/2.6.17-11-generic/acx/default/* /lib/firmware/acx/default

then rebooted, and it works great now
