You probably don't hang out in the right place... two people on the
sourceforge zd1211 mailing list recently reported that
MAXIM_NEW_RF=0x08 is just the same as    UW2453_RF=0x09 ; and one of
them has a wn422g and the other wn322g
(I just went back the mailing list archive and checked), so it is
likely the same change would work for you:

in drivers/net/wireless/zd1211rw/zd_rf.c, line 89, you see:

--------------------
        case UW2453_RF:
                r = zd_rf_init_uw2453(rf);
                break;
---------------------
Just put an extra line

         case MAXIM_NEW_RF:
either immediately before or immediately after the case UW2453_RF: line.

If it reports success for you, maybe we'll consider putting this in
properly... I am not the maintainer for that part, so it is likely
we'll need advice/approval from somebody else for this change to go
into the kernel.
