See here for my sabayon bug report -- http://bugs.sabayonlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1029
I have not tried running the ebuild against a gentoo kernel, but I am fairly certain that compiling the unpatched source fails with all newer kernels.
Patch is from here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1321303&highlight=acx+100+karmic
Here's example post from Gentoo forum http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-724529-highlight-acx.html

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use any newer kernel, say 2.6.31
2. emerge acx
3. compile fails

Actual Results:  
compile fails


Expected Results:  
compile failed -- when I use the patched source here, I get a good compile
Patched source is here.

Mike please provide emerge --info net-wireless/acx
Please test against a Gentoo kernel and provide the build log.
Thanks for the report.

The latest ebuild did compile correctly against 2.6.32 gentoo kernel.  I think a patch has been added since I last reviewed this.  Sorry.  Thanks a lot.
