I just bought a wireless pci card which works with the acx100 driver. Unfortunately the driver in the portage tree did not compile. I had do to two little changes: 1) There is a bug in the sourcefile acx100.h. The file does not include linux/pci.h from the kernel source, which is absolutely needed for being able to compile the driver. 2) The ebuild does well download the firmware file, but it does not unpack it! So i had to unpack it by myself, which is not the way of ebuild's ...
well, works for me .. can you please post your emerge info and attach the output of: cat /var/db/pkg/net-wireless/acx100-0.2.0_pre8-r4/CONTENTS ? For acx100.h: what kernel headers are you using, what kernel version? This is obviously an upstream bug, can you please contact the author about it?
I forgot the say the it does not work for PCI, it may well work for USB... Perhaps this is the reason it works for you...

Please, provide output of emerge info
Please reopen when you still see this bug and attach your emerge info.
yeah, it seems to work now! great job! thx!
