If I'm not mistaken Zydas uses ethX names i.o. wlanX.

You won't see wireless extensions until the interface is brought up.

Try 'ifconfig -a' to see inactive interfaces as well. Looking at your iwconfig 
output my guess if that your eth0 interface is the one. To be sure you can 
compare the HWaddr from ifconfig to the MAC address displayed in your log.

   
  Thanks.  You are correct about the eth0 device name, but it still will not connect.  Is there any useful debugging I can do?
   
   
  Also, Ubuntu only builds the zd1211 module.  It is benign to build both of them (zd1211 and zd1211b)?  I will suggest that both should be included in the stock kernel, if that is the case.
   
  I found a windows box to make sure that the device does indeed work.  So this is not a defective hardware issue.
