I just looked at the output of dmesg under Fedora Core 6 (kernel 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-xen). Here is the output: ieee80211_crypt: unregistered algorithm 'NULL' ieee80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'NULL' ieee80211: 802.11 data/management/control stack, git-1.1.13 ieee80211: Copyright (C) 2004-2005 Intel Corporation <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> usb 3-1: Could not load firmware file zd1211/zd1211_ub. Error number -2 zd1211rw 3-1:1.0: couldn't load firmware. Error number -2 usb 3-1: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2 zd1211rw: probe of 3-1:1.0 failed with error -2 usbcore: registered new driver zd1211rw For some reason I'm seeing a different directory structure (and assoc. files) for installed zd1211rw under Fedora compared to Ubuntu. I figured maybe Fedora has the older version of zd1211rw, so I will file a bug report at bugzilla.redhat.com to have the module updated. > Remember to set the transmit rate manually as their is no automatic > adjustment.
