Hello, my current situation situation is that I need to be able to get WLAN access by monday since I will go on a business trip then. So there is practically no time anymore to buy any WLAN hardware different from what I have. What I have is a Fiberline WL-430U USB dongle. This is listed as a supported device on http://zd1211.ath.cx/ so I bought it and didn't search for another device. But now that I have received it I have to discover that it is obviously *not* supported by the zd1211 module.
I use Debian etch (testing). I installed the zd1211-source_0.0.0.svnr67-2 and zd1211-firmware_2.4.0.0-1 packages and compiled the module via module-assistent, not using a complete kernel source tree but just the kernel headers as provided by the appropriate kernel-headers package. My kernel is 2.6.15, by the way. I plugged in the dongle and entered modprobe -v zd1211 but got only the following output: insmod /lib/modules/2.6.15-1-486/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/zd1211.ko Nothing else happened. When I tried ifconfig wlan0 up, I got the following message: wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device /proc/bus/usb contain these lines: P: Vendor=1582 ProdID=6003 Rev=48.10 S: Manufacturer=ZyDAS S: Product=USB2.0 WLAN The vendor and product IDs are totally different from what is shown on http://zd1211.ath.cx/! How can this happen? And most important question: How can I get this dongle to work *withing a few days*? Shall I modify the source and add my vendor and product IDs as supported IDs somewhere? What else can I do? Please help!!!
