D-Link DWL520+ + Texas Instrument ACX100 - kernel panic

[Alastair D'Silva]

I'm currently rolling some Linux boxen with these cards for the Canberra
Freenet.

I used the 2.4.18 kernel (compiled from source), and resolved the symbols
in the module using a 'fixscript' (based on the ones for the Lucent
Winmodems, but somewhat modified).

I'll post the script and some instructions this evening when I get home.
