Hi! I have a laptop (Medion 97900) with a built-in usb-wlan (under windows can be turned off by a special key).
lsusb: Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0ace:1215 ZyDAS the zd1211b-driver with kernel 2.6.17 seemed to work, but iwlist wlan0 scan is empty. -- any hints? I see no error messages? Does it make sense to debug the driver? Following are notes on several things i tried... ubuntu edgy 6.10: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/wlan/zd1211-driver-r83$ uname -a Linux sandra-laptop 2.6.17-10-generic #2 SMP Tue Dec 5 22:28:26 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux after replacing zd1211rw (did not work anyhow) by zd1211b as described in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Belkin_F5D7050_ver_4000_(ZyDas_zd1211b_driver) it looked quite good... but then i experienced frequently crashes in the keyboard driver hanging my machine - so i disabled it. Also it never really worked; what i missed most was any hint of antenna activity: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/wlan/zd1211-driver-r83$ sudo modprobe zd1211b [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/wlan/zd1211-driver-r83$ lsmod |grep zd zd1211b 278636 0 usbcore 134912 6 zd1211b,usbhid,ati_remote,ohci_hcd,ehci_hcd [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/wlan/zd1211-driver-r83$ ifconfig wlan0 Protokoll:Ethernet Hardware Adresse 00:60:B3:61:EC:C0 UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Kollisionen:0 Sendewarteschlangenlänge:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/wlan/zd1211-driver-r83$ iwconfig wlan0 802.11b/g NIC ESSID:"RoSaHome" Mode:Managed Frequency=2.462 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated Bit Rate:1 Mb/s Retry:off RTS thr=2432 B Fragment thr:off Power Management:off Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/wlan/zd1211-driver-r83$ iwlist wlan0 scan wlan0 No scan results ???
