As far as i know the there were legal issues with the ACX driver from http://sourceforge.net/p/acx100/acx-mac80211/ci/master/tree/ Since then TI has announced their OpenLink project and there is a page that is dedicated to linux support https://www.ti.com/lsds/ti/tools-software/linux.page Is that enough to try again to get documentation and/or their blessing to get this driver or a rewrite into the mainline kernel?
