I confirm this bug. It looks like zd1211 firmware files are in wrong place if you use linux kernel 2.6.18.
I have wireless A-Link Wl54USB stick. When I plugged it into USB-port, firmware was not loaded because driver was not able to find it. This package installs firmware in /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware, but zd1211 driver in kernel searches it from /lib/firmware/zd1211. Note that also names of firmware files are wrong. Here is a quick temporary workaround: # ln -s /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware /lib/firmware/zd1211 # cd /lib/firmware/zd1211 # ln -s zd1211-WS11Ub.fw zd1211b_ub # ln -s zd1211-WS11UPh.fw zd1211b_uph # ln -s zd1211-WS11UPhm.fw zd1211b_uphm # ln -s zd1211-WS11UPhR.fw zd1211b_uphr # ln -s zd1211-WS11Ur.fw zd1211b_ur When I did that my A-Link WL54USB stick started to work. I'm not sure but you probably should do this too: # ln -s zd1211-WS11Ub.fw zd1211_ub # ln -s zd1211-WS11UPh.fw zd1211_uph # ln -s zd1211-WS11UPhm.fw zd1211_uphm # ln -s zd1211-WS11UPhR.fw zd1211_uphr # ln -s zd1211-WS11Ur.fw zd1211_ur -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
