I just bought a Airlink awll3026 USB wireless adapter as it supposedly is supported by the zd1211 driver in FC6.

When I plug it in I get in dmesg:

usb 1-1: Could not load firmware file zd1211/zd1211b_ub. Error number -2
zd1211rw 1-1:1.0: couldn't load firmware. Error number -2

wlan: 0.8.4.2 (0.9.2.1)

Googling around I see that some file is expected to be found in /lib/firmware, but this directory is empty.

Is there some package I specifically need to install to get the firmware? I have 2.6.19-1.2911.fc6.
I went to: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=129083
and downloaded the firmware package and put it in /lib/firmware/zd1211.

I then pulled out the adapter plugged it in and the firmware loaded successfully.

After a bit of fiddling I was able to get a WEP connect to my local wireless network using the Sysyem>Administration>Network GUI.

I still have the same question as to where the firmware is in the FC6 set of packages.

Thanks

Phil
