Hi guys, this is my first post to this list, so excuse my lack of prior
knowledge here. I've tried using the zd1211b driver to get my X-Micro
802.11a/b/g USB adapter (vendor:device ID is 0ace:1215) working in an old
Apple G3 powermac.
I had it working intermittently for a while after setting the -B revision
flag in the makefile, then building and installing the driver module.
However, it would periodically stop responding, and trying ifdown/ifup on
the interface would hang for long periods of time, presumably waiting on
something (I tried running ifup with ltrace, but I didn't really understand
what was supposed to be happening).
The dongle seems to get into a brain-damaged state, dropping packets, like
so:
PING 192.168.11.1 (192.168.11.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.11.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=11.1 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.11.1: icmp_seq=5 ttl=64 time=13.0 ms
--- 192.168.11.1 ping statistics ---
23 packets transmitted, 2 received, 91% packet loss, time 22562ms
The kernel log looks like this:

And here's iwconfig's output:

If you guys have some ideas what's happening here or how to debug better,
I'd really appreciate it.
