I tried Volles "fix" and it works for me... at least Network Manager can connect to my WPA encrypted wireless. Though I loose the connection sometimes and Network Manager reconnects... this doesn't happen when I my laptops wireless (another driver).... but there might be some other unresolved issues with the zd1211rw module?!?
I made a diff file with Volles "fix" and attached to this comment. ** Attachment added: "make network manager able to see this driver supports wpa" http://librarian.launchpad.net/6013248/zd_mac.c.diff -- network manager is not able to use zd1211rw with WPA https://launchpad.net/bugs/61094 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
