I've looked at that driver, and unfortunately it doesn't yet support the
features I need. I want to use it as a sort-of access point, so I'd
need either ad-hoc or master mode support. Also, kernel 2.4 seems to be
better than 2.6 on the Ultra 5 for reasons unrelated to the zd1211 card.

I'll download rc4 to help test the new driver on SPARC, but I'd also
like to get the old driver working if possible. I thought the
unrewritten driver worked with PPC32 and x86-64 too, from the wiki. Am
I mistaken?
Thanks for telling me about SPARC not supporting unaligned memory
accesses. The smiley-face error does say something about an
"unsupported unaligned load/store trap for the kernel."
Are unaligned memory accesses known to be present in the old driver?
Would they be difficult to identify and replace, if they're there? I
may be able to fix a simple issue with the old driver myself if you can
tell someone with my level of experience what to look for and how to
replace it.
