This is a user error. You have either done the following or something similar: You compiled a kernel with zd1211rw built directly into the kernel (Y). You then booted into this kernel. You modified your kernel configuration to make zd1211rw a module (M). You built and installed the zd1211rw.ko module file. You did not rebuild the kernel image, or maybe you did rebuild the kernel image but you forgot to reboot into the new kernel image where zd1211rw is not inbuilt, or something like that. You then tried to load the zd1211rw.ko module, and things went bad because you were still using a kernel which included zd1211rw in the image.
