2.6.20-rc7 works like a charm ;)

I have just tried rc7 as Elimar suggested and it works fine with
1211-sans-B. I cannot test anything between rc7 and 2.6.19 because of a bug
in EHCI irq handling which broke USB on my laptop.

When I do ifup, this is what I get in dmesg:
zd1211rw 4-1:1.0: firmware version 4725
zd1211rw 4-1:1.0: zd1211b chip 0ace:1215 v4810 high 00-02-72 AL2230_RF pa0 g--N

SoftMAC: ASSERTION FAILED (0) at:
net/ieee80211/softmac/ieee80211softmac_wx.c:306:ieee80211softmac_wx_get_rate()

By the way, I just upgraded fw from 1.2 to 1.3 and the messages stays the
same.

Any tips? I seem to recall reading some success stories with respect to 11B
here.

BR,
Andrea.

I don't know. On the web page http://www.atheros.com/RD you still
can find the contact data of sales personnel.

However the chip itself is nowhere mentioned on the website and a
google search finds only the Linux related pages.

Kind regards,

I had been attracted to the zd1211 because it was easily available at
low cost. Now I'm beginning to think that was because the vendors were
getting rid of their stock. I have been able to get Gigabyte version
for $10.

Lately I have started looking at ralink based modules. They are
running about $20.
I would like to find an 802.11 a/b/g adapter based on this module, but
I have been unable to locate one.
http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/data/RT5201USB_brochure.pdf

A while ago I saw a mail mentioning that there was a wireless chip
that had open doc but nobody had written a driver for. Anyone remember
which chip that was? We should send it to GregKH and see if he will
write the driver.

My company inquired to both the Taiwan sales contact and the main 
Atheros sales contact addresses about ordering a large stock of ZD1211 
devices. They did not respond from either address.

Thanks for the patch. The problem with it is that it breaks the driver for 
all older kernels. If you could modify it so that it works on 2.6.x and 
2.4.x, that would be great. For 2.6.18 and newer, there's zd1211rw 
anyways.

Regards

Re: ! Patch for sources (83) for Kernel from 2.6.18

Hello,

This patch is only for the Sources. Also zd1211 and ZD1211B. The RW  
Driver supports only zd1201 Chipset? I dont know.

I need more Informations.

http://zd1211.ath.cx/download/ works fine under Kernel > 2.6.17 but  
not under < 2.6.18. I´m tested thim with my ZyXel ZyAir 220v2 under  
Ubuntu and FC 5 / FC 6: Kernels 2.6.18.X, 2.6.19.XX and 2.6.20.XX.  
Works fine.

Best Greetz

gigafast usb dongle and shielding

The zd1211 based Gigafast USB dongles does not appear to be properly
shielded. If I get my Dlink wifi link dongle too close to the Gigafast
one, the Gigafast one starts receiving all kinds of spurious packets,
There is no effect in the other direction.

I have two DVI cables, a cheap one ($5) and expensive ($30). If the
Gigafast dongle gets too close to the cheap DVI cable, it introduces a
bunch of sparkle into the screen. No problems from the Dlink again.
