Public bug reported:
The Sitecom WL-603 USB wireless network adapter is compatible with the
zd1211rw driver, at least since linux-2.6.27 --- except that its USB ID
(0df6:0036) was not listed among the supported devices.
Just adding its USB ID to drivers/net/wireless/zd1211rw/zd_usb.c makes
it work under Ubuntu 8.10, as reported here:
http://www.nabble.com/usb-id-0df6:0036-not-yet-in-
kernel-2.6.29-rc2-td21540039.html
I've applied the same patch as well, and I can confirm that the device
works flawlessly.
However, the device is officially supported only since 2.6.29-rc3, with
the following commit:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=de2624966f9bc6ffafc4fd6555336fabc2854420
Is it possible to make sure that the WL-603 USB ID will be supported by
the Ubuntu 9.04 kernel (even if it will not be linux-2.6.29)? It would
allow Ubuntu to support a new piece of consumer hardware --- and save me
the hassle of patching new Ubuntu kernels until 9.10 :-)
