No firmware files are available. The only one is 404'd. Assigning to spb since he maintains the driver, acx.

You can grab the files here : http://www.kazer.org/acx-firmware-20060207.tar.bz2
Either download it to /usr/portage/distfiles or modify SRC_URI.

The file will stay there if there's no problem about redistributing it.

Enjoy :)

Hello,

Hosting files in a random server and building ebuild for hundreds of thousands maybe million users, is lame if not plain stupid.

Here is a workaround:

wget -P /usr/portage/distfiles/ ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/other/tiacx-firmware/acx-firmware-20060207.tar.bz2

The file was forgotten during a migration.
It's back.

But adding other sources would indeed be a good idea.
