Ah, that would explain the "I don't have source, so don't pretend I know
anything" message I saw on one page..

I did see that there's a project at Sourceforge for a reverse-engineered
open source driver [http://acx100.sf.net/], but it looks like it's a
long way from being usable.  I suppose it would be a good thing to play
with for anyone who has an extra card laying around, but don't let
anyone go running to CompUSA to go pick up an adapter based on that
chipset just yet...
