Summary: Does not support rev.B1 of DLink DWL-G650+
Product: Ubuntu
Version: unspecified
Platform: i386
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: linux
AssignedTo: fabbione@xxxxxxxxxx
ReportedBy: ross@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
QAContact: kernel-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The D-Link DWL-G650+ rev B1 (firmware 2.04) is not supported by Hoary out of the
box. It uses the acx111 chip so the acx_pci driver works, but on loading the
module tries to load the TIACX111.BIN firmware onto the card, followed by
RADIO16.BIN.
Turns out this is totally wrong for this variant of the ACX111. To get it to
work I had to take FwRad16.bin from the CD and put it in /lib/hotplug/firmware,
and then delete TIACX111.BIN. Now the module looks for and can't find TIACX111,
then uploads FwRad16.bin, which works.
For even more fun note that recent versions of acx_pci don't try looking for
FwRad16.bin or RADIO16.bin, so on my Sid laptop I had to replace the provided
TIACX111.BIN with FwRad16.bin.
(this is so screwed up)
