Hi everybody,
I have a Sitecom WL-113 USB wireless adapter, and I use Debian testing with
zd1211rw. My wireless network uses WPA.
The adapter is working with kernel up to 2.6.24. It is not working anymore
with kernels 2.6.26 and 2.6.30 (these are the kernels I could test).
>From what I can see, wpa_supplicant gets a series of errors from the driver
when it tries to associate to the network.
Provided that the OS is exactly the same, and the only variable is which
kernel is booted, I think it's something related to the driver (kernel 2.6.26
is where the MAC layer has been changed) or to the interface between it and
wpa_supplicant.
I'm just writing to ask if this is a know issue or if someone else is getting
similar problems.
Thank you very much for your work
Bye

I am quite sure you are mistaken. Debian ships a version of the
vendor/vendor-derived driver up to 2.6.24(?) and I don't know when
they switch over. You should approach the debian people on your
problem.
