With latest compat-wiereless versions installed, when the zd1211 dongle is plugged, an wlanX interface is being initialized, but when 'ifconfig wlanX up' is issued, the cursor hangs for about 1 minute and driver fails to load the firmware, despite the fact that the fw is installed and working with the default kernel drivers and drivers from compat-wireless from December.
