Hello again,
after some search i found another zd1211b usb stick this time with an AL2230
chipset and not an AL2230S as the ones i tested before.
whats really funny.. the stb boots with kernel 2.6.30 and with iwconfig i see
the wlan0 and wmaster0 interfaces.
kerneloutput till there:

the same stick runs flawless on a x86 pc with kernel 2.6.30.
as i said, also on the same machine with kernel 2.6.12 and the vendor driver
this stick works without problems.
perhaps someone has an idea ?

Just a wild guess, if your target runs MIPS in big endian: a missing endian conversion in the zd1211rw driver?
Wasn't USB little-endian based?
If the stick runs on the same MIPS target with 2.6.12 and vendor driver, it shouldn't be a USB 1.1 vs. 2.0
problem - I guess the stick is a high speed device, as the zd1211b supports 802.11g.

Joerg.

CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN=y , so this should not be the problem i think

if i remember the vendor driver correctly it uses 11g if usb2.0 is used and
switches automatically to 11b mode for usb1.1
perhaps its some sort of timing issue ?

Well, you could mount debugfs and usbmon (follow the instruction at
Documentation/usb/usbmon.txt) and compare the data flow in the working
situation & non-working situation. Try to keep everything else
(software/module/version-wise) the same.
It is a bit unfortunate, but I think only 32-bit x86 (both rw &
vendor) is well-tested; I know the rw driver works on 64-bit x86_64
and the vendor driver does not; it looks like for 32-bit non-x86 it is
the reverse. (or at least, the 2.22 driver works correctly, and the
3.0 driver regressed but still goes a bit further than the rw driver).
Good luck.
