2.6.18-rc1: zd1211rw doesn't work yet?

[Harald Dunkel <harald.dunkel@t-online.de>]

Hi folks,

I have used the "external" zd1211 driver for months without problems,
but the integrated version in 2.6.18-rc1 does not work for me.

iwconfig says:

wlan0     802.11g zd1211  ESSID:""
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.412 GHz  Access Point: Invalid
          Bit Rate=1 Mb/s
          Encryption key:XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XX   Security mode:open
          Link Quality:0  Signal level:0  Noise level:0
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

I had expected something like this (running iwconfig for 2.6.17.3
+ zd1211 rev80):

wlan0     802.11b/g NIC  ESSID:"harrinet"
          Mode:Managed  Frequency=2.432 GHz  Access Point: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
          Bit Rate:54 Mb/s
          Retry:off   RTS thr=2432 B   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:****-****-****-****-****-****-**   Security mode:open
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality=84/100  Signal level=55/100  Noise level=0/100
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:44
          Tx excessive retries:145  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

Please note that there is no MAC for 2.6.18-rc1.

???


Any hint would be highly appreciated. Of course I would be glad to
help debugging.


Regards

Harri
