I have to unplug the usb stick before rebooting, and plug it in again after Linux has loaded, else it fails: USB control request for firmware upload failed. Error number -110. I suspect this has to do with zd1211rw being loaded too early in the process, but I don't know to fix it. What is the proper way to load the modules, is /etc/modules the right thing? No, usually the driver modules for usb are supposed to be loaded by the appropriate udev rules. And this should work at boot time too, i.e. no need to unplug the usb dongle. This doesn't work for me. The log says that some usb device is plugged-in, but the zd1211rw driver isn't loaded. I would suggest to try the wpasupplicant package. I use an open network, so I don't think I need wpasupplicant. For Debian and Ubuntu the appropriate support has been added to the ifupdown scripts. You have to configure your wlan gateway to do wpa-psk, though. My entry for wlan in /etc/network/interfaces looks like this: allow-hotplug eth2 iface eth2 inet static wpa-driver wext wpa-ssid mynet wpa-psk my_precious_wpa_passphrase address 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 I use dhcp on an open network, and the usb stick is eth1, so I tried allow-hotplug eth1 iface eth1 inet dhcp wpa-driver wext wireless-essid MyOpenNetwork it almost worked, I got a connection but no dhcp ip. I don't use my laptop that much, so I can live with my current setup that works. Plugging in the usb stick after reboots, and this little wlan.sh script for connecting. #!/bin/sh sudo iwconfig eth1 essid MyOpenNetwork dhclient I have not tried downgrading the firmware yet.

Re: [zd1211-devs] essid strangeness
Is this a problem with Ubuntu not setting the essid when the interface first comes up? Or is it a problem with the driver not performing the first setting of the essid correctly? Other than this issue everything seems to be working for me.

Re: [zd1211-devs] essid strangeness
I turned up debug in the zd1211rw driver and can see what the problem is. Tomorrow I'll see if I can learn enough about the driver to fix it. The problem has nothing to do with setting an essid, that just happens to be a way to recover from it. modprobe the driver in.
