Hi,

It works with acx100.sourceforge.net driver 0.2.0pre6:

Jan 17 11:32:54 fault kernel: acx100_init_module: TI acx100_pci.o: Ver
0.2.0pre6 Loaded
Jan 17 11:32:55 fault kernel: acx100: form factor 0x01 (D-Link
DWL-520+/650+/Planet WL-8305?), radio type 0x0d (Maxim), EEPROM version
0x0005. Uploaded firmware 'Rev 1.9.3.e' (0x01020505).

Linux fault 2.4.22-1.2149.nptl #1 Wed Jan 7 13:08:26 EST 2004 i686 i686
i386 GNU/Linux

I don't know about Dag Wieer's repository, I grabbed mine directly from
acx100.sourceforge.net. 

I started using this module on RH9 and when I "upgraded" to FC1 I
continued to use it. I have not updated my instructions
(http://www.tuolla.net/index.php/TheBlogi/2003-08-23#DWL650wRH9) for
installing this module since autumn as the README file which comes with
the module has improved dramatically and IMHO makes further instructions
unnecessary. 

According to the README it is possible to get this module work with
2.6-kernels as well. But I will probably wait for FC2 before trying it.
;)

Good luck
