Those are the missing files from the latest build (dated 10-20-06) of Fedora Core 6. To make zd1211rw functional I simply run/build the userspace firmware module (zd1211_fw_2006-10-20.tar.bz2) without having to build (zd1211_2006-10-20.tar.bz2) since kernel module (zd1211rw.ko) is already up-to-date (or so I thought).

If I remember correctly, if the vendor driver where installed lsmod would display zd1211 without the "rw". If both were installed then lsmod would show zd1211 and zd1211rw. I assumed that is not advisable due to instability created having both loaded into the kernel. eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
