First of all, about 'meat' changes. This is an updated driver for Texas Instruments' PCI and PCMCIA wireless adaptors. The driver compiles and kld[un]loads successfully on i386 and amd64 CURRENT, but I have no hardware to actually test it. In any case, I think it is better than totally broken port (as it is now). It's also deserves noticing that the driver does not use new multi-bss framework (src/UPDATING entry 20080420). Again I believe it is better than nothing. From http://dev.kewl.org/acx100+111/ This experimental version of the ACX(4) driver for FreeBSD-6.1+ should work for infrastructure clients, Ad-hoc connections and in a limited form as an access point. In the latter case functionality such as power saving or client to client bridging is not implemented. ifconfig is used to configure the ip address of the adapter which initialises the connection and the application "acxtool" found in the acxtool directory should be compiled to configure attributes such as channel, ssid etc, however ifconfig may perform most of these operations but the feature set at this time is incomplete. As for port itself, I claim maintanership since current maintainer seems to be gone. See, for example, PRs 116120 and 123937 for maintainers timeout, and current state of the port (DEPRECATED with EXPIRATION_DATE=2008-09-19). I am not the perfect maintainer due to lack of hardware also, but... I have renamed the port to line-up with upstream naming (and the port supports now not only ACX100 chips but ACX111 also). The last but important hint is to pay attention to net/gacxtool port. It was marked as DEPRECATED 7 days ago (19 Dec 2008) due to broken dependency net/acx100 (this port). With this update it is no longer true, but I'm sure that it will not compile against current x11-toolkits/gtkdatabox (it was developed with 0.2.4.5 and now it is 0.9.0.1 :). The big problem here that Leonid Zolotaev is not only current net/gacxtool maintainer but the only developer also. With the latest release from 2004-10-20 and latest news on web site from 2005-09-22 I'm afraid, the project is dead. I don't know if I can help here :( Fix: Patch attached with submission follows:
