Hi,
Thanks for the first USB testing :)! ... so something is already works. That's good ;).
I'll test WEP one time as well with my pci cards here and hostapd (and iptables set to self-protect). My testing focus was mainly on WPA, but normally WEP should be feasable (since mac and crypto-wise basically the same things happen, only without the wpa key-ceremony by the supplicant). Let's see...

Well, I was a bit bored, thus I actually tested it for a while.
Build was no problem since I was running 2.6.32.2 already.
Connection did NOT work (WEP setup.....).
Probably since H/W WEP is now disabled due to wpa_supplicant and software WEP with mac80211 has issues?? Or maybe I'm just a doofus and don't know how to configure software WEP with all that new-fangled crap ;)
BUT... the best...

Good evening and Thanks ;)!
Well, indeed there are advantages of supporting different kernel versions - like you mention the distro support. That's of course a point.
I was also thinking one time of different branches per kernel version, which would get rebased with the latest, but of course that's also a bit of work (for each branch) ... .
So probably both approaches require somehow...

Since the driver likely will remain mainline-external forever (*howl*), we need to ensure sufficient version compatibility, thus we should provide reasonable if relatively minimal compatibility with various current kernel versions (== as used by current distributions, that is).
Frankly that never was much of a problem with the old acx100 driver (well, as long as someone actively...

Yupp, the driver is for the 2.6.32 mac80211 API. The easiest is probably to upgrade your kernel. Shouldn't be difficult with Ubuntu, I guess. I'm running 2.6.32.2 on Debian wo problems.
The mac80211 API changes regularly with newer kernels. My intention is to move the driver along with the changing API (as regularly if possible ;).

I'm trying to compile under Ubuntu 9.10 which has kernel 2.6.31 and I'm getting the following errors:

Hello,
Since sometime I'm working on an updated version of the acx-mac80211 code.
For interested people with acx hardware there is now a testable version for
kernel version 2.6.32 available, which includes support of WPA(2) (among others).
Details for testing can be found below.
This is work in progress and of course there are still many things to improve
and to be done. The next...

Against what driver version this patch is? I tried with this
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/acx100/acx-20080210.tar.bz2
patching file pci.c
patching file wlan_compat.h
Hunk #1 succeeded at 218 (offset -4 lines).
and compiled with
make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd`
But ends with errors.

I got it to compile to but it didn't work. Just kinda locks up.
