I don't think so, I'm thinking more specific entries in the
EEPROM. We would need a debug version that dumps the EEPROM before
we load the firmware. We will have to find data at some offset,
which reliably would tell us, whether we deal with a ZD1211B
instead of a ZD1211. Just classical
So the crucial question for me is:
Is it possible to use zd1211rw without udev? and
What has to be done for this working? (I'm sure there is something to do:-)
The only problem I can think of is loading the device's firmware. The driver
sends a notification to user space and user space is
Thats true - now it's called firmware.sh (I'm using udev v100), and udev is
placing it in /lib/udev/firmware.sh.
I'm not sure if this is absolutely necessary, but did you check if the
script's permissions allow it to be executed ?
Using the zd1211rw git tree with the patch to make it build on 2.6.20.
I copied 267MB of data with various rate settings. All of the copies
took about the same about of time. What is this setting doing? The
nodes are both 802.11g, 5ft apart, 99% quality, 100% strength. The
correct nodes are
Hi,
With help from Johannes Berg, I've been working on reverse engineering
the firmware to try and understand the instruction format. Assuming we
can figure out all of the instructions, the end result is that we'll be
able to produce an open source firmware.
So far I've built up a partial
.. Intel 8052 ..
I meant MCR 8051.
I suppose you're aware of the clue in the vendor driver, using that as a
starting point ?
u8 WS11Ur2[(0xEE00 - 0xEC00) * 2] = { 0x0F, 0x9F, 0x00, 0xEE }; // JMP 0xEE00

(I noticed I still had this mail sitting in my queue. It's the result of some
minimal testing. I hope it's not old news. BTW I'm temporarily no longer in
possession of a zd1211 device so I can't try out anything for now)
Any testing appreciated: does zd1211rw work with your ZD1211B device
Any testing appreciated: does zd1211rw work with your ZD1211B device
when connecting to encrypted networks? (remember to test more than just
associating...)
I have/had all the described problems with a ZD1211. With linux-2.6.18-rc1 /

I think the problem is with the conditions used to compile in iw_stats

In zd1205.h the condition is:

That's correct. The vendor driver simply blinks the LED at fixed
intervals, it doesn't actually indicate how much traffic is flying
around.
Emn, it doesn't look like just periodic blinking. You definitely see when
data is being transferred, in contrast to when it is idle. No idea, maybe
Make sure your kernel is compiled with wireless extensions
(CONFIG_NET_WIRELESS) and USB support
How do I know if it has wireless extensions, and if it hasn't how do I add
tehm. I am using FC5.
I expect it has wireless extensions.
To check:
zcat /proc/config.gz |grep CONFIG_NET_WIRELESS

Why are the two AllowedChannel entries different? Why are there only 11 or
