Re: [zd1211-devs] Any advances in SMCWUSB-G?

[Diego S. R. <dse...@di...>]

OK, Just a followup on this:

I got it working in the actual 2.6.20 of Ubuntu Feisty. What I did:

1. Installed linux-headers-2.6.20-xxx
2. Installed linux-source-2.6.20
3. Modified the zd1211rw to add my USB ID numbers.
4. Compiled the module with the following:

make -C /lib/modules/2.6.20-6-386/build M=`pwd` modules

(standing within the directory of the 2.6.20 zd1211rw module)

5. and voilà. The new zd1211rw.ko file that appeared in the directory
just works like a charm.

	Thanks for the info!
	diego.
