Hello,
I am trying to use my wireless device :
laptop : ASUS A9RP 5B018H
vendor id : 0B05
product id : 171B
kernel : 2.6.17-10 (kubuntu 6.10)
As explained at http://zd1211.ath.cx/wiki/UntestedWithRewrite, I added
the
line { USB_DEVICE(0x0b05, 0x171b), .driver_info = DEVICE_ZD1211B } in the
file zd_usb.c (zd1211rw_2006-10-28.tar.bz2 version)
then make, and insmod zd1211rw.ko
the /var/log/messages :

then I launch wlassistant :

iwconfig_set: /sbin/iwconfig eth1 mode managed channel 4 key open xxx
essid my_essid
==stderr: Error for wireless request Set Frequency (8B04) :

So, my device is now known, but I cannot use it.
Where's the mistake ?
Any idea is welcome.

I have this problem too (when I using ifup - ifdown )
In documentation written (for Debian):
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
wireless_essid myessid
wireless_channel 7
wireless_mode master
wireless_rts 512
wireless_frag 512
wireless_key secretkey
My config for wlan without witeless extension:
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
And I use kwlan (or kwifimanager) - for configuring my adapter and it
works correctly.

Re: [zd1211-devs] [PATCH] wireless-2.6 zd1211rw check against regulatory domain rather than hardcoded value of 11
The patch was based off the FIXME comment in the code [which suggested
replacing 11 with the boundary for the regulatory domain]. I'll take a
look at the vendors driver and see about modifying the patch to fit
more with its logic or just limmiting it to the FCC regulatory domain.

What the patch does is replace the top channel which is hardcoded to 11
by the top channel given by the current regulatory domain. How can that
be wrong? Except that you may want to init the regulatory domain from
the EEPROM but I'm not sure how the ieee80211 code works wrt. that.

The problem is not so much that I don't trust the geo code, but whether
setting the register to that band-edge value for a higher channel is
the right thing to do. It looks like that this is a hack for FFC
compliance. Therefore I suggest to patch CR128 only
for the US regulatory domain.
Here is the code from the GPL vendor driver (zdhw.c):
if (pObj-HWFeature BIT_21) //6321 for FCC regulation, enabled
HWFeature 6M band edge bit (for AL2230, AL2230S)
{
if (ChannelNo == 1 || ChannelNo == 11) //MARK_003, band edge, these
may depend on PCB layout
{
pObj-SetReg(reg, ZD_CR128, 0x12);
pObj-SetReg(reg, ZD_CR129, 0x12);
pObj-SetReg(reg, ZD_CR130, 0x10);
pObj-SetReg(reg, ZD_CR47, 0x1E);
}
else //(ChannelNo 2 ~ 10, 12 ~ 14)
{
pObj-SetReg(reg, ZD_CR128, 0x14);
pObj-SetReg(reg, ZD_CR129, 0x12);
pObj-SetReg(reg, ZD_CR130, 0x10);
pObj-SetReg(reg, ZD_CR47, 0x1E);
}
}
The patch from Holden would set ZD_CR128 to 0x12 for the highest channel,
which would not reflect the logic of the vendor driver.
Kind regards,
Uli
