ZyDAS ZD1211 ∞
I don't know if I still own this
lsusb
gives:
Bus 003 Device 003: ID 0ace:1215 ZyDAS WLA-54L WiFi
run pcc
and go to "network & internet", then "Wireless connection".
... needs a net connection to download shit first.
zd1211rw
-
Linux driver for the ZyDAS ZD1211(b) 802.11a/b/g USB WLAN chip
- There is the community zd1211 driver (based on the ZyDAS GPL driver) and the rewritten zd1211rw driver (included in Linux 2.6.18-rc1 and newer).
- I unpacked
zd1211-firmware-1.4.tar.bz2
and copied its contents to/lib/firmware/zd1211/
wget www.reactivated.net/software/zd1211-vendor/releases/ZD1211LnxDrv_2_22_0_0.tar.gz tar -xvvzf ZD1211LnxDrv_2_22_0_0.tar.gz cd ZD1211LnxDrv_2_22_0_0 make modprobe -l|grep zd1211rw modprobe zd1211rw
... doesn't really work.

the gui shit doesn't work, it complains about missing some ndiswrapper nonsense.. I reinstall it and it won't work.
.. uh, I fucked around a bit more and it magically works.
No, wait. It's not working. Fuck this.

I guess this was just a dumping ground for some old notes for when Linux was awful for wireless compatibility.
