I have a wireless adapter with the following device string from lsusb:
"ID 083a:e501 Accton Technology Corp. ZD1211B"
It's device string was not in the zd1211rw driver, so I wondered what
would happen if I added it to zd_usb.c... and voil?, now it works
great ;) (i'm writing this connected with that adapter)
I've tried it with compat-wireless-2.6.30, with kernels 2.6.28 (ubuntu
9.04) and 2.6.30 (debian sid), and it works. I've tried to do it with
the bleeding edge compat-wireless, but it wouldn't compile on any of
my machines (the stable version compiled just fine, though).
The only thing I did was to put the following line in the device
string list in drivers/net/wireless/zd1211rw/zd_usb.c:
{ USB_DEVICE(0x083a, 0xe501), .driver_info = DEVICE_ZD1211B }
Do I need to send you a patch?
(if it weren't such a minute modification I wouldn't doubt it)
I've never done it before, but i'll learn to do it if necessary ;).
If you need more testing on this device, count me.

Good - The AL2230_RF line is what I asked for.

compat-wireless latest-and-greatest is a bit broken lately, in the
last week or so. You are not the only one affected - Luis is working
on it, I think.

A patch is not necessary, but having the RF type line from your dmesg
would be good.

I'm not sure if this is what you need, but here it is:
ssorgatem@sobremesakubuntu:~$ dmesg | grep -i zd1211rw
[ 10.045331] zd1211rw 1-2:1.0: phy0
[ 10.045390] usbcore: registered new interface driver zd1211rw
[ 13.184194] zd1211rw 1-2:1.0: firmware version 4725
[ 13.224200] zd1211rw 1-2:1.0: zd1211b chip 083a:e501 v4810 high 00-1a-2a
AL2230_RF pa0 g--NS
I hope it helps.
