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.
