acx1xx
acx100 was a project started by Andreas Mohr to create a free open source driver for acx100 chipsets from Texas instruments. Later produced acx111 chipsets are also covered by this work. At the current point the driver is working quite reliable and is ported to the mac80211 WLAN stack by a guy named Jeff. These chipsets can be found in many devices from PCI over PCMCIA to USB.

available devices
A complete list of devices known to work with acx1xx can he found in the acx100 wiki
If you put lists here like bcm43xx does it's far easier for people to find out about this driver since it'll be listed on en/users/Devices/PCI and en/users/Devices/USB.

device firmware
You need to get a firmware to actually use the device. The wiki should give you a good point to start on which firmware to choose and where to get it.
