Distribution list/Gentoo

From ACX100/ACX111 wireless network driver project

[edit] Installation

Getting the driver and firmware is a breeze on Gentoo, just

emerge acx

This will get the latest driver marked as stable in portage (unless if you're on unstable). To see all possible versions of the driver run

equery list --portage-tree acx

If you wish to emerge masked versions, take a look at Gentoo-wiki: Dealing with masked packages and/or man portage. If you do not have equery, first emerge gentoolkit.

[edit] Testing

Try it out

modprobe acx
iwconfig

If that shows the interface, the install was successul. If not, try ACX111 or ACX100 debugging solutions, or try #acx100 on irc.freenode.net

[edit] Setup

This depends on how your wireless network is configured. Take a look at /etc/conf.d/wireless.example, Gentoo-wiki: Wireless configuration and startup and [http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=4
