for Puppy Linux v2 with kernel 2.6.16.7
from http://acx100.sourceforge.net/index.html
compiled May 2006

This Linux wireless driver package supports -
Alantro/Texas Instruments TNETW1100(ACX100)/ 1100B / 1130(ACX111) / 1230 / 1250 chipsets.
The new TNETW1450 (USB 2.0 capable chipset) isn't fully supported yet.


INSTRUCTIONS  (this README is found in /root/my-applications)

The correct firmware for your adaptor must be copied into /lib/firmware/
For ACX100USB copy the supplied /root/my-applications/tiacx100usb
For ACX111 copy the supplied /root/my-applications/tiacx111c16
For ACX100 things get a little complicated. There is 1 master firmware, but 2 seperate radio firmwares.
Go here http://acx100.sourceforge.net/wiki/Firmware
and here http://acx100.erley.org/acx_fw/acx1xx.htm
to identify and obtain the correct firmware.

## now load the driver
modprobe acx
## if no error messages, this should create a network interface, wlan0
ifconfig wlan0 up  #(sometimes necessary)
## it should now be possible to use WAG (Wireless Access Gadget) to connect to a wireless network
## or continue to set up the wireless network manually -
iwconfig wlan0 essid MY_ESSID key 1234567890 mode managed
## for automatic IP
## first remove stale dhcpcd file if it exists
rm /etc/dhcpc/*.pid
dhcpcd -t 30 -h puppypc -d wlan0
## or for static IP
## modify /etc/resolv.conf to include your nameservers
#ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.xx broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0
#route add default gw 192.168.0.1 wlan0   # or whatever your router's IP is

A script is provided with these commands; /root/my-applications/bin/acx100-connect
Just modify the script to include your wireless settings.
