Bug#481419: linux-image-2.6.25-2-686: zd12&&rw with new mac80211 does not work with Yakumo QuickWLAN USB (ZyDAS)
Package: linux-image-2.6.25-2-686
Version: 2.6.25-2
Severity: normal
This time, I'll try to make a usefull report :-*
I use a USB wireless adapter : Yakumo uickWLAN USB 2.0, with a ZyDAS
chipset, zd1211.
I use it with a WPA AP, running with OpenWRT on a Lynksys wrt54GS.
It works with the kernels from 2.6.18 to 2.6.24.
It does not initialise, nor scan with 2.6.25.
I saw thiat this driver (zd1211rw) has changed to the more generic
mac80211 layer from Deviscape.
The symptome is : the link LED stays off, wpa_supplicant cannot initiate
scan, and there is no network connection.
