Got one of these the other day. USB ID is 0ace:1215, but sadly it contains the UW2453 RF device. So yet another device with the same USB ID but different RF!
Started using it on Gentoo with Kernel 2.6.22-r9 Tried using the supplied linux drivers - couldn't get them to compile. Tried the Vendor Drivers 2.21 and 2.22 - got them to compile but I'm using the device through a USB1.1 port and while it would successfully upload the firmware it stalled on "rebooting the device" (intr_urb: failed with error -5). Tried to poke around the code but no luck.... So bit the bullet and installed 2.6.23-r3 and used the updated zd1211rw driver with the UW2453 RF support and seem to have a degree of success. But I'm getting fairly regular crashes, here's the log: ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at kernel/workqueue.c:220! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] Modules linked in: zd1211rw CPU: 0 EIP: 0060:[<c01249cb>] Not tainted VLI EFLAGS: 00010002 (2.6.23-gentoo-r3 #3) EIP is at queue_delayed_work_on+0x1b/0x80 eax: 00000000 ebx: ee20f544 ecx: ee20f534 edx: ef7ee8a0 esi: ffffffff edi: ee20f534 ebp: ee20f520 esp: c16e9f50 ds: 007b es: 007b fs: 0000 gs: 0000 ss: 0068 Process events/0 (pid: 5, ti=c16e8000 task=ef7d3570 task.ti=c16e8000) Stack: 00000296 ee6e5200 c0124a6c 00000bb8 c036ab81 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 c050ec00 c036cb50 00000000 ed414b60 ef7ee880 ee20f534 c036ab30 00000000 c012447b c16e9fb4 00000046 ef7d3570 ef7ee880 ef7ee880 Call Trace: [<c0124a6c>] queue_delayed_work+0x1c/0x20 [<c036ab81>] ieee80211softmac_auth_queue+0x51/0x130 [<c036cb50>] ieee80211softmac_assoc_notify_auth+0x0/0x30 [<c036ab30>] ieee80211softmac_auth_queue+0x0/0x130 [<c012447b>] run_workqueue+0x6b/0xe0 [<c0124ae0>] worker_thread+0x0/0xc0 [<c0124b92>] worker_thread+0xb2/0xc0 [<c0127080>] autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x40 [<c0126ef8>] kthread+0x38/0x60 [<c0126ec0>] kthread+0x0/0x60 [<c01040c7>] kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10 ======================= If the device is plugged in on boot up then it's ok,unless I stop and restart it a few times. But it seems to cause most problems if I plug it in after I've booted. If I can be of any more help then let me know.
