[SLE] DLINK DWL 520+ (acx100) wireless card and SuSE 10.1



Anyone getting this PCI card to work? It worked in 10.0 after adding the
needed firmware.

I see that the 10.1 acx.ko (this replaces the acx_100.ko in 10.0.?)
driver wants to load firmware with different names than before. For
example, the file that was previously called WLANGEN.BIN should now be
called tiacx100. The remaining files must also be renamed. But the
driver load fails claiming the card did not respond to something.

The /usr/sbin/install_acx100_firmware script that comes with 10.1
installs the firmware with the old/original names.

I can go in to more details if anyone knows about this.
