usb wireless dongle
I have bought an usb2 54mbps wireless dongle (sitecom wl-133) It's the
only 802.11g (54Mb) device to be supported under linux (ralink does not
yet support usb, PrismGT does not yet support usb) it is a zydas zd1211,
the module is released under gpl by zydas but it is not supported.
I've tried the driver and compiled with many warnings, when I try to
put up eth1 the kernel 2.6.9 crashes... sigh! (same thing happens with
ethernet usb adapter adm8513 Pegasus II with vanilla kernel).
There's a sourceforge project willing to support it:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/zd1211
They are very few (mailing list counts 5 subscriptions), I'm writing
this email to ask if there is anyone willing to help them, I proposed
myself to build them a site and to be a beta tester.
Mac users (ibook, emac, imac) really need such a device to go wireless
11g with linux, or to have monitor support (the device also works as
access point).
Sorry for crossposting!!
