Oh, so changing the permissions - chmod/chown - works after all? The issue of how to get the kernel module to re-try loading the firmware is a bit complicated - I think very recent kernel+zd1211rw driver can retry loading firmware on activating/deactivating the interface, so "ifdown/ifup wlan0" or "ifconfig wlan0 down/up" would do it, or physically pulling the USB stick out and re-insert. A little older, loading firmware is done at module loading time, so one needs to unload and reload the kernel module with "modprobe -r/modprobe zd1211rw". Pulling stick out and re-insert does not trigger the module unload/reload. Of course reboot does all of unload module/reload module/ifdown/ifup... I am just wondering what makes you think it is permission change that makes it work, and why did you think it didn't work initially. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Zd1211-devs mailing list - http://zd1211.wiki.sourceforge.net/ Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/zd1211-devs
