Re: [zd1211-devs] zd1211 and ubuntu 8.1 problems
lsmod is only showing zd1211rw on its own, in mac80211 and in usb corem, which seem like the correct suspects to me. Jut checked Dmesg and seen the zd1211rw driver loaded.. So Hold the phones i could be back in a sec with some absosmegginglutely fantastic news... Just gona try a restart with my fingers and toes crossed!! You sir could be a genius...

Re: [zd1211-devs] zd1211 and ubuntu 8.1 problems
Hi again,
Thanks for suplying that, all actioned and ive still got the -110 error, so
good try. Must admit this is bugging the hell out of me, seems no one knows
what the problem is. I appreciate you trying considering your not one of
the devs. If you or anyone else has anymore ideas that would be great.
Do you know of a way i can get in touch with a dev? if we think we could be
at a stage to do so?
Thanks again.
