Re: [zd1211-devs] Help needed : F5D7050 USB key on Debian Etch is not working]

Never mind. I guess I'm not familiar with getting the latest zd1211rw for 2.6.21
I see the date Alian posted on was after Sebastian's note on 5/5. 

And now with Daniels tests and recommending a AL2230S device, I assume it's 
working now.

I'm using Suse 10.2 and was using their kernel source for 2.6.21 at:
http://software.opensuse.org/download/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_10.2/

Even though it's dated May 19th, it has the AL2230S check still in (per my last 
message).

Can some kind soul please explain what I need to do to get the latest/stable 
zd1211rw code into a 2.6.21 kernel? 

Thanks,
Scott

 Alain,
 
 I just tried the Belkin F5D7050 v4000 with zd1211rw in the latest
 2.6.21 kernel and modified zd_usb.c ( 0x050d, 0x705c ).
 
 I wanted you to know that it's been blacklisted or patched out due
 to some problem with the RF side?
 So as a warning, don't update your kernel.
 
 Reference:
 http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg08526.html
 
 dmesg will show:
 
 usb 2-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4
 usb 2-1: new device found, idVendor=050d, idProduct=705c
 usb 2-1: new device strings: Mfr=16, Product=32, SerialNumber=0
 usb 2-1: Product: USB2.0 WLAN
 usb 2-1: Manufacturer: Belkin
 usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
 usb 2-1: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4
 usb 2-1: firmware version 0x4330 and device bootcode version 0x4810
 differ
 zd1211rw 2-1:1.0: AL2230S devices are not yet supported by this driver.
 usb 2-1: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4
 
 Apparently this device uses the AL2230S which Daniel has deemed broken
 with the current driver.
 
 Can you confirm if you are having any problems with it?
 
 Thanks,
 Scott

All,

please check the sources of your kernel for a file drivers/net/ 
wireless/zd1211rw/zd_usb.c. There you find the list of supported USB  
ids. Adding a new one should be easy.

Do you see any messages in dmesg or /var/log/kern.log?

If the firmware has been successfully loaded you will see the device  
with iwconfig.

Kind regards,

Ulrich

 I think that 2.6.21 has some bugfixes that were not present in  
 2.6.18 (at
 least one is about initialization of zd1211b devices), regardless  
 of the fact
 that that particular USB ID were listed in the driver code or not.
