Thanks! I am looking for a more accurate answer. What should I do with this firmware problem ? I do not want to delve into the zd1211rw code trying to solve it. Didn't other people encounter this problem ? Maybe the zd1211rw developers can try to hint as to what the problem is ?
Or maybe should I forward this message to the linux wireless mailing list ? I am quite stuck with this problem,as you can see.
