 Plug and play with hotplug, and USB Mass Storage as well as SCSI drivers in the kernel. When plugged in, hotplug outputs that it is using 'SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage Devices' with a 'Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision 02' connection to it onto the device sda. Supposedly (though I can't test it as I only have SD cards), the device can handle up to 3 cards in there simultaneously. I am using a USB 1.1 connection, and it works fine.

 mindfrost82, Try just using the start_net script from the acx100.sf.net set of stuff. I don't know how you did what you did in your modules.conf, but the script is probably the easier route. It works for me (I just put the script in /etc/init.d) on kernel 2.6.0. The firmare_dir=whatever argument is needed in the insmod command for the acx100 module. Anyway, just try the script instead of modules.conf

 D-Link has refused to release drivers and Texas Instruments (the makers of the ACX100 chipset it uses) has refused to release specifications for developers, despite continual pleas. There were, originally, some binary drivers that were leaked out - if you happen to have those distributions, other reviews have said that they're fine. However, the better solution is the open-source, reverse-engineered driver at http://acx100.sourceforge.net/. This driver is quite reliable at this point (I'm using version 0.2.0pre5), even though it is technically still an alpha release. UPDATE (9/Feb/2004): I'm now using kernel 2.6.0. Trying to follow the readme to install in 2.6 can be a pain. But a simpler solution is that there are frequently-updated 2.6 kernel patches available here: http://luca.pca.it/projects/acx100/. Anyway, driver works perfectly - I have no problems at all with it. I've upgraded my compatibility rating from an 8 to a 9 now (not 10 because the driver's still not included as part of the kernel.org kernel).

 Driver is in the kernel package, but without that (such as with ALSA, etc.) it can be argumental. Just install from the kernel and you're good to go.
