Summary: Unknown radio type/TX error 100

Initial Comment:
I have a D-LINK DWL-520+ card. I use Debian/Woody 
with kernel 2.4.20. I have compiled pre6 driver 
succesfully using firmware from original windows driver.

The driver starts and I can ping through the radio link 
but I have the following suspicious message in the log:

...
Nov 23 21:44:50 server kernel: FIXME: 
unknown/unsupported radio type, cannot modify Tx 
power level yet! 
...

And also there are several messages (almost after every 
packet sent) in the log:

Nov 23 22:08:52 server kernel: Tx error occurred (error 
0x10)!! (maybe distance too high?) 

The full log of starting the driver is below:

Nov 23 21:44:48 server kernel: acx100: It looks like you 
were coaxed into buying a wireless network card
Nov 23 21:44:48 server kernel: acx100: that uses the 
mysterious ACX100 chip from Texas Instruments.
Nov 23 21:44:48 server kernel: acx100: You should 
better have bought e.g. a PRISM(R) chipset based card,
Nov 23 21:44:48 server kernel: acx100: since that would 
mean REAL vendor Linux support.
Nov 23 21:44:48 server kernel: acx100: Given this info, 
it's plain evident that this driver is EXPERIMENTAL,
Nov 23 21:44:48 server kernel: acx100: thus your 
mileage may vary. Visit http://acx100.sf.net for support.
