Bug Description

In Dapper Beta my DWL-650+ card, based on the TI acx100 chip, doesn't work. It asks for a firmware file that doesn't exitst in any of the firmware versions, changing the firmware or setting a firmware option has no effect. Check your hotplugscripts it says in dmesg. I can't find them, neither a relevant udev script.
In dmeg it also says:
 acx: compiled to use 32bit I/O access. I/O timing issues might occur, such as non-working firmware upload. Report them

The message is exactly

acx: firmware image 'acx/default/tiacx100c11' was not provided. Check your hotplug scripts

tiacx100c11 is of course not present. The c stands for combined, as in tiacx100 and tiacx100r11 merged in one file.
I was able to resolve the load problem only by updating the driver from 0.3.21 to 0.3.35. Firmware loading was successful afterwards (-r11 is loaded when c11 is missing).

Now if only the driver weren't so damned talkative.

Changed in linux-source-2.6.15:
status: Unconfirmed → Fix Released

looks like it still hangs around , i have xubuntu 2.6.20.16 and gets this message also,
later another driver loads correctly with 'acx v0.3.36' - so its only that erromessage...
- to me it looks like an Udev default script-error, but I cant find it...
