[Hx4700-port] ACX WLAN Working!

[Todd Blumer]

Bill Reese was able to resolve the problem with the hx4700 internal ACX.
It is now working, and both trees are updated! cvs update if you build
your own kernel. Hopefully, Rene will be able to get this into Familiar
0.8.4 build soon (Rene, you can use the K2-6-15-DEV branch -- I can tag
current files for you, if you want).

P.S. Since Bill is an HP employee, the bounty is over and all bounty
contribution volunteers get to keep their funds (i.e., Bill said he
could not accept the bounty).

For those who want to just install a new kernel / modules in your flash,
I have provide these instructions:
http://sdgsystems.com/pub/ipaq/hx4700/starterkit/20060531-acx/
(See readme file).

Note that this kernel has a lot more built-in modules for the ones that
are used on the hx4700. It will boot faster than the one from the
Familiar distribution.

Typically, the hardware-specific drivers reside in the component
directory to which they belong, rather than the machine-specific
directory. That way, if someone makes a change to the component (e.g.
header file), they don't have to go looking around for who might be
using the component. (But the machine owner knows what components are in
his machine.) You'll also notice that hx4700_acx.c includes local files
which would then need to be moved to global include areas. (In
actuality, some of the items currently in the hx4700-specific directory
should be elsewhere).

Thanks to everyone involved!
Now I will be able to stop using windows not only on my desktop but also on my PocketPC.
