Most relevant line from dmesg I presume: zd1211rw 1-2:1.0: zd1211b chip 0ace:1215 v4810 high 00-25-86 MAXIM_NEW RF pa0 -7-- I opened the stick and there is a genuine Atheros AR2524 (= Zydas ZD1211b) and ubec UW2453 (RF) in it. Same with the msi stick, don't know about the other, but it also has toe 0ace:1215 vid/pid. Ernst ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hin-Tak Leung" <hin...@ya...> To: <zd1...@li...>; "Ernst J.

There are quite a few variants. I don't know if putting compat-wireless on will help, but you could give that a try. FWIW, the driver development has gone over to linux-wireless.org and changes goes directly into wireless-testing git; the sourceforge zd1211 site isn't much more than the mailing list these days, and even the mailing list isn't very active. (try the linux-wireless list may be a good idea). --- On Sun, 14/2/10, Ernst J. Oud <ern...@eu...> wrote: > Ok. > > Did some further experimenting.
