I re-installed Fedora Core 6 as sugegsted then downloaded and installed the firmware as per your intsructions and got the system to recognise the wireless adapter. (I must have damaged original files with my core 5 type "yum install ieee80211" approach and installed the wrong files over the already-installed correct ones?)
I turned off encryption at the router and got the wireless adapter to connect then turned the encryption on again. lsmod #look for zd1211 and ieee80211 entries dmesg #look for usb and zd1211 entries ifconfig eth1 up dhclient eth1 iwconfig eth1 essid my_essid iwconfig mode managed iwconfig rate 54M iwconfig #to check status ifconfig #to check status #set up encryption again at router # then configure wireless adapter settings iwconfig enc my_encryption_key iwconfig #to check status ifconfig #to check status still to resolve a couple of co-existence issues between the wireless and ethernet NIC; wll update on this once I have a diagnosis and hopefully a solution.

Make sure to change the kernel version (EXTRAVERSION) in the Makefile in order to distinguish tainted kernel build from stock kernel build. Also, rebuild zd1211rw and its firmware after you rebooted into the newly build kernel.
