Hi Tom,
Atheros supposedly contacted Abocom about this to make sure that Abocom
stop using 07b8:6001 for ZD1211B devices (this has historically been a
ZD1211 ID).
We still don't have a way of determining whether a device is ZD1211 or
ZD1211B before firmware load time, except for USB ID, which

I did check the ZD1211 chip markings and can confirm that they are

OK, thanks. ZyDAS would like to know whether these devices were ordered
directly from Abocom, or if they were from the retail market.
I am using the Abocom WUG2690 wireless USB module with Linux 2.6.21.1 with
the zd1211 driver from the latest 2.6.21.5.
It appears that Abocom is using a mix of ZD1211 and ZD1211B chips without
assigning a different USB vendor/device-ID. The bulk of devices I see use
a ZD1211B.
