So far i understand this: I want to use the community driver, have support on it, do testing and create bug reports that are responded to. When I plug-in a zd121x based device on a clean debian sid installation it will say in dmesg it is missing firmware. The only firmware for the zd121x i can find on debian is the zd1211-firware package. After installing this some of my debices work and some do not I created bug reports for those that do not work. If i read the following page correctly: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/zd1211rw This means that the debian zd1211-firware is firmware that is not designed for the community driver that is used in the default debian sid kernel ....? So using the zd1211-firware is actually wrong! If I read it correctly i should use the below firmware: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=129083 With the community driver and the default debian kernel? Is the community firmware not packaged in debian? Where can I find it in debian and ubuntu? Please make it as clear as possible how the situation is.
