Thanks,
it works now!
I had to set the essid with sudo iwconfig set essid MyWlanName. 
Then do a sudo dhclient to get a dhcp connection.
Perhaps not surprising, but:

Previously this was made automatically by a configuration option
wireless-essid in /etc/network/interfaces, but it doesn't seem to have
an effect with the zd1211rw driver. Also I have specified 
iface eth1 inet dhcp, but that doesn't seem to do it.

Also I have problems with starting the driver automatically at startup.
I've put zd1211rw last in /etc/modules. I have to unplug the usb stick
before rebooting, and plug it in again after Linux has loaded, else it
fails: USB control request for firmware upload failed. Error number
-110. I suspect this has to do with zd1211rw being loaded too early in
the process, but I don't know to fix it. What is the proper way to load
the modules, is /etc/modules the right thing?

But the driver seems to work fine!
Don't know how formal tests are required, but I suggest adding
{USB_DEVICE(0x13b1, 0x0024), .driver_info = DEVICE_ZD1211B} 
to zd_usb.c
