I don't use the in-kernel driver as it is missing some of the available fixes and improvements. Regards, Will -- Build a person a fire, and they may be warm for a day.

Re: [zd1211-devs] Problems with zd1211b ( and with zd1211 )
zd1211rw works for me on both WEP and WPA networks with wpa_supplicant. I recommend using the 2.6.19 kernel, though. When I was using 2.6.18, my syslog was flooded with messages when using WEP. 2.6.19 seems to work much more reliably, and the flood is gone.

Have you tried the zd1211rw driver? It can work. I've managed to connect to the network after that change and it worked, some how, stable. It worked with unencrypted networks and for sure at least one time with WEP encryption... I did not manage to get it running with WPA (wpa_supplicant) I'm not sure if it's because of the driver or my configuration. Hope I helped somehow. You can try posting how are you trying to connect to the network and if there's anything more in the dmesg while trying.

Re: [zd1211-devs] nslu2 arm observations
Also, I had a lot of miscellaneous problems with zd1211rw under 2.6.18. I updated to 2.6.19 yesterday and patched in the latest zd1211rw.git, and have noticed a marked improvement in reliability/performance.

My main question is why the zd1211rw performance is so low? Is there a way to debug this problem? You didn't state whether you were measuring RX or TX performance, or whether you were using 802.11b or g. In general zd1211rw performance is not that bad, although I think we still only meet about half the RX speed of the vendor driver, unsure about TX. We're not sure why, but at the same time nobody has really investigated. Our driver is less efficient in that we allocate memory in the RX path rather than using some kind of circular buffer system, but this should be insignificant (unless we're pegging the CPU on your ARM?) Also remember that the vendor driver dynamically adjust it's rate based on signal quality but zd1211rw defaults to 11m and relies on the user setting a sensible rate. If you set 54M but don't have a strong signal, then you'll get considerably worse performance than (e.g.) 24M. To start with, use a vendor driver which does not have large packet support, otherwise it is not a fair comparison. (It is *possible* that zd1211rw not using jumbo frames is a reason for slowdown but I expect it will be an insignificant difference) The next steps would be to find what's different. You could dump the controlset on each outgoing frame and check that the match for both drivers. You could also write a patch for both drivers to dump the contents of all control registers on-demand (possibly through the ethtool interface) and then compare results from the 2 drivers.
