Hi All.....this one has me scratching my head....
I recently purchased a 54Mbps 802.11g Wireless LAN PCI Card....installed 
it on my AMD 1.8ghz machine running Mandriva 2007......i went to 
"Configure your computer" and began to "Add a wirless connection"....it 
found the card and showed it as TNETW1130(ACX111).....also came up that 
i did not have a driver in the /lib/firmware/tiacx1*....also said a 
driver could be found  at 
"http://acx100.sourceforgr.net/wiki/firware......went there and d/l all 
the tiacx1* drivers available...tried them in the /lib.firmware dir but 
no joy.......
decided to trawl the net for info.....
the card is OPEN304W also shown on card sticker
lspci showed 00:0a:00
lspci -n showed 00:0a:00  104c:9066   VID:PID
this VID:PID is also used by a D-Link Airplus G+ DWL-G520+  pci card
the chip is a Texas Instrument TNETW1130 (ACX111)

some one is going to tell me to use ndiswrapper with the WinXP 
driver.....have tried this also....no joy.....
would prefer a Linux solution if there is one.....


any help or pointing in the right direction would be appreciated....

Thanks
