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

Re: [zd1211-devs] Any advances in SMCWUSB-G?
Hi, Daniel: I'm sorry, I was really tired after an evening of trying to configure the card... OK, here is the detailed data: I bought a SMC ez-connect g wireless USB. (SMCWUSB-G) USB id: 083a:4505. I downloaded the community driver r83 plus the firmware v1.3 from the web site zd1211.ath.cx, compiled it (the zd1211b version) and worked for kernel 2.6.17. Now, I updated to Ubuntu Feisty, kernel 2.6.20. It is supposed that the zd1211rw driver is included and supports both the a and b chipsets. However, when I load the zd1211rw driver, nothing happens, that is, the module loads, the usbcore says that it registered a new interface driver for zd1211rw, but nothing more: no wlan0 interface and no wireless interfaces detected. I tried the previous firmware (v1.3) and the one that comes with the feisty restricted-modules for 2.6.20, but no luck. OK, however, the question is simple: anybody got a SMCWUSB-G (or anything with the zd1211b chipset) working in kernel 2.6.20? Thanks, diego.

[zd1211-devs] Any advances in SMCWUSB-G?
Dear all: I saw a message some days ago of a person that bought an SMC SMCWUSB-G (EZ-Connect-g) and that was working with the community module with the kernel 2.6.17. The same happened to me. Now I updated to Ubuntu Feisty and it doesn't work. The 2.6.20 kernel doesn't recognize the USB even when I load manually the zd1211rw driver. I tried the different firmwares and also didn't work. I just was wondering if anybody with this wireless USB got it working under 2.6.20 or 2.6.19. It is surprising, as I can see in the page that it is supported, and the USB identifiers are the same that the one listed working (with the zd1211b version).
