It does fix the issues. However, I had to make some search-and-replace
changes to usb.c ... the constant USB_RWMEM_MAXLEN was being used but only
ACX_USB_RWMEM_MAXLEN was defined. I'm not sure if the change is correct
(please see attached patch), but it did make things compile. Why is the
stuff in usb.c compiled at all, if CONFIG_ACX_USB is not set?

The resulting driver is quite unstable:

1. A scan fails to reveal any nearby networks.

2. modprobe -r acx does not get rid of wlan0. That is, iwconfig shows
wlan0 even after having run modprobe -r acx. Afterwards, when
NetworkManager tries to configure the wlan interface, the computer
spontaneously powers off.

I'll play with it some on my Fedora 9 installation and let you know.

Thanks for all your help so far!
