I'm running Linux 2.6.25 and the zd1211rw driver from 2.6.25. Does anyone know if this driver worked in 2.6.25 and if so what it's dependencies were? Which 802.11 stack? I am fairly new to the 802.11 drivers and not familiar with everything that has been going on in the 802.11 space.
Compat-wireless does not seem like a solution at the moment. It seem that I'm just missing something simple assuming that the zd1211rw driver worked in 2.6.25.
