 +===== WARNING!!! =====
 +**There is legal controversy surrounding the development of this driver, see the wireless [[http://kerneltrap.org/comment/reply/6692|mailing list]] for more information. See [[http://acx100.sourceforge.net/wiki/History#Kernel_inclusion|kernel inclusion section]] for some background information on the previous attempt to include it in the mainline kernel.

 +
 +===== Driver Status  =====
 +
 +This is a short report about acx driver. See [[http://forum.aircrack-ng.org/index.php?topic=2216.msg12412#msg12412|this thread]] for details.
 +
 +There are 3 version of the driver:
 +- plain
 +- SoftMac
 +- mac80211
 +
 +The current stable release of the "plain" driver is v0.3.36 (acx-20070101) and it works t works on kernels equal or greater than 2.6.10.
 +
 +For kernel 2.6.21-22, a patch is needed: http://acx100.sourceforge.net/wiki/Patch_2.6.22
 +The driver does not support WPA.
 +
 +The driver can be patched for injection with the instructions below on this page.
 +
 +The SoftMac version uses deprecated stack layer, it's not updated anymore.
 +
 +The [[acx1xx|mac80211 version]] is still in beta. It requires a kernel equal or greater than 2.6.18 (with mac80211 support). Starting with 2.6.27, it will be integrated in the kernel.
 +
 +From kernel 2.6.23 forward, an injection patch is already integrated in the mac80211 stack in the kernel mainline. For fragmentation attack support, an additional patch is required. See the [[mac80211]] page for more details.
 +
 +All versions require a non-GPL firmware in /lib/firmware/, you can find it online.
