Subject: Driver Support Linux 2.4.26 zd1211

Hello everybody, and sorry if I disturb you with something that was
fixed before.

I'm trying to setup the zd1211 in Linux 2.4.26-ts11 in the board
TS-7200. I have some drivers that are working only with networks
without encryption. If I try to connect to a network with WEP or WPA
encryption, i can not get the access point. I am looking for a new
version of drivers to solve this problem.

I was reading throwing forums and I know that is possible, so if you
know the address where I can download the drivers I will thank you.

Thanks in advance.

I think for 2.4.x: forget it.

For 2.6.26 it may be possible using compat-wireless-old, or just using a
more current kernel 2.6.27+, perhaps with compat-wireless to get the
latest version.

You could look for the vendor driver (ZD1211LnxDrv_*) which seems to
have some support for 2.4.x
If you do make any enhancement/bug-fixes, please post. The last is
ZD1211LnxDrv_2_22_0_0 AFAIK.

Yes, I know that with 2.6.x is working but the embedded system I'm
working with only support 2.4.x so... I need to fix the driver to this
version. Upgrade the kernel is not an option.

Thanks anyway

Actually with compat-wireless-old you can go down to 2.6.21 but keep
in mind that the drivers in there, nor mac80211 has been updated in
ages.
