Hi,

Quick device info:

Vendor:         Shuttle
Model:          PN18G (although it doesn't seem to be marked as such)
USB Device ID:  07b8:6001
Chip:           ZD1211B
RF:             AL2230S

You can see this product here:

The chip description from dmesg:

[ 1378.268000] zd1211rw 5-6:1.0: zd1211b chip 07b8:6001 v4810 high 00-12-0e 
AL2230S_RF pa0 -----

It is a USB device designed to be connected directly to a pin header or other
internal connector.  It has the large coax antenna mount, and also provides an
alternative U.FL connector that a pigtail may be attached to.

Anyway, it looks like this is a re-use of a previously existing device ID.  I
had to modify the driver to get it working (patch attached).

I hope this is enough info to get this working in mainline.

BTW, it would be nice if the driver printed an error message if a ZD1211 is
assumed but the chip is actually a ZD1211B, or vice-versa.  It currently fails
silently.  I'm not sure if there is a good way to determine at runtime what kind
of chip you are actually talking to ... ?

Thanks for your time.
