Hello Terzino, with DSL 3.4.11 I had have the same Problem with "pump". You can try DSL 4.2.5, this Version work`s with my zd1211 Chip.

Good Luck

Hello nonoo,
now I have a DSL 4.2.5 box hd installed, and I tried to do the same steps I posted several days ago, but when I put "sudo insmod zd1211.o" I had "kernel-module version mismatch ..." because the driver I downloaded from http://users.tpg.com.au/cramond/zydas/ is for a 2.4.26 kernel.
Do you know any place to download the correct version of the zd1211 driver? Compiling is the only way? What do I have to compile tre driver?
Thanks in advance.

The compiled version for kernel 2.4.31 has now been uploaded at http://users.tpg.com.au/cramond/zydas/

Thank you andrewb.
But I have the same result with the new driver on DSL 4.2.5: when I put "sudo pump -i eth1", where eth1 is the wifi netcard. I receive "operation failed" again.
Somebody can tell me if my Armada 1750 (Pentium II 366 with 64 mb ram) is too little to have the 3CRUSB10075 working?

I have a generic usb wifi stick with the Zydas (ID 0ACE:1215) chip in it running on a Toshiba libretto (P-I, 166MHz, 64Mb). I use the driver I uploaded & the instructions I gave earlier in the thread. Do you have another net card in the system that makes your wifi connection eth1, rather than eth0? What result do you get from 'iwlist scan'? What order are you loading the module / plugging in the wifi dongle? Try loading the module without the dongle plugged in - you should get a nice ascii ZYDAS logo on the console (I use insmod, rather than modprobe). After that plug in the dongle & you should see it recognised with messages appearing on the console (make sure you have a terminal window open, or do this testing without X running).

From http://www.linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/zd1211rw/devices it looks like you are using the correct module (zd1211, NOT the zd1211b version) .Have you loaded the firmware update to the correct location (download the zd1211-firmware file I have uploaded along with the modules files & look at the readme file in there), I don't know if that may help you? So far as I know the firmware update isn't actually written to you usb stick so it can't corrupt anything there, you just need the files available whenever you use the device.
