correct. from src/zdusb.c :
/* table of devices that work with this driver */
static struct usb_device_id zd1211_ids [] = {
{ USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_ZYDAS, PRODUCT_1211) },
{ USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_ZYXEL, PRODUCT_G220) },
{ } /* Terminating entry */
};
so, there is definitely a link, and not only in name :)

windows wrappers are band aids. a native driver is good, but a GPL
driver is better. and a cleanly written native GPL driver... where do i
sign up!

keep me informed. i'm betting on "unknown reasons" though. the driver he
has on his site is an old version (4715?). All the names credited in the
sources appear to be ZyDAS employées, in taiwan. Note that i wasnt able
to find any email or name of a maintainer for the driver
