That's a zd1211b-based device
Oops. I thought that the b in zd1211b has something to do with 802.11b
No. ZD1211B is more a less another revision of the ZD1211 chipset which
supports 801.11b/g/a.
I just have tried what Chidananda suggested, meaning I accessed my
dongle with the zd1211 module. Can this damage the dongle?
Unlikely.
It should be supported by the driver using proper options ("make
ZD1211REV_B=1 install" should be okay).
Can I also do a normal make; make install and then just load zd1211b instead
of zd1211? Can I also use the zd1211-source and zd1211-firmware packages
included in Debian etch as long as I load zd1211b instead of zd1211?
Well, try it ;-). The latest zd1211.ath.cx driver revision is 71 though.
There have been reports stating the 2.6.0.0 ZyDAS driver (revision 71 is
based on) works better with zd1211b devices than previous versions. I
don't know what version the Debian driver is based on. The last time I
heard of it it was quite old. I'd recomment to just try the newest drivers
of zd1211.ath.cx.
