I was playing with the source code of this zd1211 driver and found out
that the probe procedure
 zd1211_probe (in zd1211usb.c) runs successfully till the end, so there
is no error.
Nevertheless when I run iwconfig I can read "wlan0 no wireless
extension", the same as with eth0 which is not wireless of course.

So the device wlan0 is there, but zd1211 driver must tell the system
hardware is not wireless.
Possible cause for it:

a/ the zd1211 driver has some bug inside
b/ something in my system prevents the wifi hardware from beiing
recognised properly as wireless

Please tell me where should I look in order to solve this problem?
Are there any packages that could be missing?
I have wireless_tools package installed and I can connect to internet
through eth0 (another connection), so I think my net installation is good.
Also bluetooth works on this machine perfectly.

Where in the zd1211 driver code is the procedure that tells the hardware
is wireless or not? What should I look upon?

z.
