We are doing this on an Ubuntu distribution, so the location of the
firmware images should be
/lib/firmware/<kernel-version>/acx/<firmware-version>. Note: this is
only for the sake of example. There should be no need to do this on an
Ubuntu distribution, since the firmware images are available from the
repositories (in the linux-restricted-modules-<kernel-version> package).

Thought this was interesting:
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/371682>

However, I see that acx is missing in the lucid version of
linux-firmware, but certainly _is_ available in the karmic version:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic-updates/all/linux-firmware/filelist

Good luck. Either way, if you upgrade to lucid you might want to look
around for another card.
