Tested over Apple iBook PPC32 with a zd1211 based dongle on a fresh new 2.6.18 mainline kernel. Patch applies to kernel and compiles with no problems (without compiling in-kernel zd1211 driver). Modules then compiles and are loaded correctly. The device associates to the AP over a 128bit wep protected network, but seems unable to send data. Trying to ping the AP or other clients returns "Destination Host Unreachable". Dhclient too fails. -- +----------------------------SIGNATURE:-------------------------+ | Silvio Relli aka "Rello" admin(at)rello.it ---> www.rello.it | | GPG key: 1024D/B24DEED3 | | "I videogiochi non influenzano i bambini.
