Hi, zd1211rw was merged into Linus' kernel tree just before 2.6.18-rc1 was released. We're still developing in external git repo's but having an early version included in the mainline kernel should be beneficial for wider development and testing. Daniel |

Great news ! Congrats for the excellent work guys. Meanwhile my Setup is working too, with zd1211. Best regards Anes |

I'm sure kernel inclusion will improve development! Great job and thank you a lot. Rello |

I am using the driver for my regular internet access, and the connection seems to be unstable. Could we, perhaps, get some diagnostics from the driver / softmac layer? Currently as the connection breaks there are no messages... Would be extremely useful for debugging... Not a debugging mode printing a line in every function, but only in error cases?

There is a debugging option in the kernel configuration which should provide enough information for reports like this to be useful. It would be worthwhile enabling softmac debugging too. Daniel |

The problem with them is - they are called "full debugging", which usually means "noisy all the time" up to "unuseable because of debugging overhead". No, haven't tried yet, could try, but I'd need debug level 0 - only report in error cases. I cannot "just test", I use it and from time to time such situations occur. Or is there such a mode already?

Or is there such a mode already? IEEE80211 debug is silent until configured in /proc. softmac debug is very quiet. zd1211rw debug is noisier but is nowhere near the unusable level. It will be silent once you are connected to a network, until a problem comes along. It is also often essential when investigating bugs to have full debug output -- messages related to the error alone do not cut it, because the series of events leading up to the error usually have strong relevance.
