It's not known whether your device is a "normal" or "strange" AL2230S until you try 2.6.21.5 and check the kernel logs. It will identify (and reject) the "strange" device as having an UNKNOWN_A_RF radio. > Somewhat frustrated after the relatively "easy" aspects of Vendor-based > self-made module on Mandriva.

Your distro should ship a recent version of the driver and the firmware so that no installation is required from the user standpoint. If your distro is not doing this, you should file a bug report at their bugzilla.
