Re: [zd1211-devs] [PATCH] vendor-based: 2.6.22 compatibility

I create this new patch for back compatibility for kernels 2.6.22 (still research for the iw_statics fix) I'd think that - struct iw_statistics *iw_stats = macp-drv_stats.iw_stats; + struct iw_statistics *iw_stats = macp-device-stats; without ifdefs will break compilation with older kernels. Could you try building against 2.6.21 and some older kernel? Perhaps - struct iw_statistics *iw_stats = macp-drv_stats.iw_stats; +#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,22) + struct iw_statistics *iw_stats = macp-drv_stats.iw_stats; +#elseif + struct iw_statistics *iw_stats = macp-device-stats; +#endif already does the job.

I have a VIA-based USB 2.0 card in my oldest PC and it is consuming 10% of computation time on Linux box. I heard similar things. However, since USB 2.0/EHCI is standardized, that's pretty odd. Anyways, anyone apart from me running zd1211 on a USB 1.1 system? So far the two 1.1 systems I used both had problems with the stick (hiccups every some minutes). I got a NEC-based USB 2.0 PCI card now (1033:0035, Longshine 8033H, NEC 720100 chipset, EHCI/OHCI) that seems to work perfectly. As a side note, the quest I pursued until recently was adding wifi to a AMD K6 machine using some VIA MVP3 board. That's no simple task as all wifi PCI cards need PCI 2.2 or later but this chipset doesn't support that (will become very unstable with PCI 2.2 cards). Same for USB 2.0 cards - all seem to need PCI 2.2. So onboard USB 1.1 was the only option (apart from using a standalone router altogether ;-). Well, I got a slightly more recent machine now that at least supports PCI 2.2... ;-) Regards - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

Re: [zd1211-devs] New device ID for zd1211rw driver

It's very interesting: MIMO is the technology used to drive 802.11n (multiple simultaneous data throughput channels) but the ZD1211 hardware does not support this (it only has a single radio). The ZyXEL website doesn't really explain how they are using MIMO in this device. Just curious, do you have any ideas? The extent of my knowledge about this product is that it ran me about $12 last week from TigerDirect :-). It claims to have three antennas inside its little box - pointing up, left, and right - with LEDs indicating which one is in use. Someone should tell ZyXEL that's called antenna diversity, not MIMO :) I wonder if they do diversity/antenna switching externally from the ZD1211 hardware. If they use ZD1211 functionality for diversity, it may explain why the current antenna never changes: our driver doesn't support the ZD1211 diversity features (and neither does the vendor Linux driver really). One interesting test would be doing the same experiment under windows and seeing if the lights change. Finally tried this under Windows - the switching is indeed performed from the driver.
