Mauro, please simply load the module, plug the device in and call iwconfig.
Here is the output on my computer:
$ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
Warning: Driver for device eth0 has been compiled with version 20
of Wireless Extension, while this program supports up to version 19.
Some things may be broken...
eth0 IEEE 802.11b/g ESSID:off/any Nickname:"Broadcom 4318"
Mode:Managed Access Point: Invalid
RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
eth1 no wireless extensions.
sit0 no wireless extensions.
eth2 802.11g zd1211 ESSID:off/any
Mode:Managed Access Point: Invalid
Obviously eth2 is the zd1211 device. It needs to be configured, I
do it currently the following way:
# ifconfig eth2 <host-ip>
# route add default gw <router>
# iwconfig eth2 essid <ESSID> rate <speed>
# ifconfig eth2 up
# iwconfig eth2 mode managed
BTW I'm currently connected doing it this way.

Uli
