Hey guy's i'm trying to install my wireless card under fc6.
I've followed the instructions http://acx100.sourceforge.net/wiki/Distribution_list/Fedora

uname -r

2.6.19-1.2911.fc6

yum list installed kernel-devel

Installed Packages
kernel-devel.i686 2.6.19-1.2895.fc6 installed
kernel-devel.i686 2.6.19-1.2911.fc6 installed

yum list installed acx100-firmware acx111-firmware dkms-tiacx

Installed Packages
acx100-firmware.noarch 1.9.8.b-1 installed
acx111-firmware.noarch 1.2.1.34-1 installed
dkms-tiacx.noarch 0.4.7-3 installed

The next step in the guide is this
Compile the module through dkms. You`ll need the dkms-tiacx package version, which was echo`ed by the yum install command above. At the time of writing this verion info was `0.4.7-3'.
with

dkms build -m tiacx -v 0.4.7-3

results in the following error
Error! DKMS tree does not contain: tiacx-0.4.7-3
Build cannot continue without the proper tree.
Any suggestions would be great thx.

I got one working by following the instructions here:
http://acx100.sourceforge.net/wiki/ACX

When the kernel got updated I had to recompile and reinsert the driver a couple of times. but the same

http://lisas.de/~andi/acx100/acx-20070101.tar.bz2

package worked each time and the firmware was never changed.

Another thing that I noticed was that I actually had to log in as root rather than to just issue the su - command from within a terminal...it seems that some of the commands are not available to the super user.
