I'm running the latest svn build on a D-Link DSL-G604T (AR7) with a ACX111 wifi chipset.

I downloaded the acx firmware and it creates the interface fine.

/etc/config/wireless seems to only be for atheros and broadcom.

Heres the output of iwconfig wlan0
wlan0     IEEE 802.11b+/g+  ESSID:"hegemon"  Nickname:"acx v0.3.36"
          Mode:Master  Frequency:2.412 GHz  Access Point: 00:13:46:98:B9:86   
          Bit Rate:54 Mb/s   Tx-Power=15 dBm   Sensitivity=1/3 
          Retry min limit:7   RTS thr:off   
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality:0  Signal level:0  Noise level:0
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

The following allows me to pickup the point on a scan but authenticating with it doesn't work:
iwconfig wlan0 mode master
iwconfig wlan0 essid hegemon
ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.66

Now I'm not sure what the next step should be, I don't have to much wifi experience. Apparently madwifi needs some custom scripts because of the lack of /etc/config/wireless support, it would seem like it could be similar, does anyone have a link?

It works, but only with an older kernel like 2.6.19.2
