Summary
-------

Hawking HWL2 which is a USB wifi device with zd1211 and AL2230
(according to logs). zd1211 seems to report firmware mismatch with
zd1211-firmware-1.2.tar.bz2. (zd1211 fails with probe error report).

Also zd1211rw reports as eth1 rather than wlan%d.

====================================================================
More details
------------

kernel: usb 1-1: firmware device id 0x4330 and actual device id 0x4802
differ, continuing anyway

Firmware used: zd1211-firmware-1.2.tar.bz2

Little is working as yet. Most iwlist and iwconfig commands fail.

======================================================================

I hope that this is a useful report. A pointer to more recent firmware
or information about how to extract it from the windows driver files
would be appreciated. Thanks to everyone who has worked on the driver.
