I think this should also be patched by the .postinst script so that it
is done automatically by ifup/ifdown.

This appears to be broken in /etc/network/interfaces. I don't remember
exactly where I got this file from :(

There is already a bug report that I have extended:

Hm.

Ah, it should be "zd1211". At least the firmware in /lib/firmware has this name.

And the driver is a builtin kernel module.
The .config ( http://download.goldelico.com/letux-400/trunk/CONFIG ) says:

CONFIG_ZD1211RW=y

Did you apt-get any additional packages? So we should add them to the ./postinst
script.

I remember that WiFi did work - but I am not sure if it  was with WPA or on a 
open network.
