The thing is, I'm not really a coder (I dab a bit though) and I'm
certainly
not familiar with driver code and other things related to kernel
code but I
thought that since the WinXP driver is called ZD1211BU I'd take a
shot at
adding the usb-id (0471:1236) to the zd_usb.c file of the driver and
recompile. Now after recompilation the device is recognized (of
course) and
the zd1211rw driver is loaded when the device is plugged. Fine and
dandy.
However I only get 11 Mb/s reported by iwconfig even though it's a
802.11g
device and I get 54 Mb/s in Windows. So I figure something is fishy
here and
I would really like some help (and give help in return if I can)
from you
guys.
Thank's for the USB id, I will add it to the driver.
I know this is a little bit disappointing, but the infrastructure we
are using is
currently not supporting rate adaption. You can however use iwconfig
to set
54 MBit/s manually.
# iwconfig eth1 rate 54M
Oh, and the reason I think it uses the AL2230_RF transmitter is
because
that's what dmesg | grep 'zd1211b\? chip' told me (zd1211rw
1-5:1.0:
zd1211b chip 0471:1236 v4810 high 00-12-bf AL2230_RF pa0 g--, to be
precise).
This is correct, because the RF is coded in the EEPROM of the device.
You
wouldn't get an association with the AP, if the driver would identify
the
wrong radio (RF chip).
Cheers,
Uli
