You're definately right in this one. Channel x is 1<<(x-1), in other 
words xth bit in AllowedChannel. And that highword is not related to 
allowed channels (or has been used as default channel but it is a bit 
unknown whether it still works that way as some parts are now commented 
out). So no channels are available for use. Try:

	iwpriv eth0 set_Region n

where n is 1-6:
             case 1 :
                     macp->RegionCode = ZD_REGION_USA;
                     break;
             case 2 :
                     macp->RegionCode = ZD_REGION_Europe;
                     break;
             case 3 :
                     macp->RegionCode = ZD_REGION_France;
                     break;
             case 4 :
                     macp->RegionCode = ZD_REGION_Japan;
                     break;
             case 5 :
                     macp->RegionCode = ZD_REGION_Israel;
                     break;
             case 6 :
                     macp->RegionCode = ZD_REGION_Mexico;
                     break;

You can check the AllowedChannels each uses from zd1205.c, either from 
_ZD_REGION comments or below that switch/case stuff I copied above (latter 
is the one really used but they should agree AFAIK), but you should use 
the region that matches your location due to regulations of your 
country...

Hope this helps. I guess the zd1211b initialization needs some checking 
though. You could test if the newest driver provided by Zydas allows more 
useful set of allowed channels for you (no need to check other 
functionality at this point, just the log message about AllowedChannels), 
if it does, we can probably easily figure out what needs to be changed in 
the initialization...
