Hi everybody,
I'm running DSL 3.4.8, kernel 2.4.26,and I'm trying to use my usb wireless dongle 3CRUSB10075.
I had the files zd1211.o and zd1211b.o and I copied in /lib/modules/2.4.26/usb.
Then I put the command "sudo insmod zd1211.o"
But when I try to do "sudo modprobe zd1211" I have "modprobe: Can't locate module zd1211"
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

You must first rebuild the index by using depmod.

If you're running a frugal and get write-protection errors, you can:
- go to /lib/modules (i.e. where modules.dep etc. reside)
- remove those symlinks
- copy the files over from KNOPPIX to ramdisk

The files need to be in /lib/modules/2.4.26/net.

You only need to copy one of them. Looking at:
http://www.linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/zd1211rw/devices
your dongle could use either. Use lsusb to find out what the ID of it is. According to the above list if it is 0ACE:1215 then you'll need the zd1211b module. If it is 6871:a727 you'll need the zd1211.o module.

The location in there should not matter...
In any case, you'd still have to rebuild the indexes.

I've got it running without having to rebuild the indexes.

Do you do the insmod before you plug in the dongle? If you do this you should get an ascii ZYDAS logo appear on the console. Then plug in the module & it shold be recognised OK. What does lsmod tell you is loaded after you insmod?
