wireless USB dongle
Hi,
I am trying to configure wireless USB dongle
(SWMULZ-5400 http://safecom.cn/code/sub/category.asp?prdid=321&subcatid=41)
but so far I could not load successfully driver. I am getting next message

dmesg gives a little bit more information

zd1211b: probe of 2-1:1.0 failed with error -5
lsusb gives
Bus 002 Device 015: ID 0ace:1215
which indicates that I have zd1211b chipset in wireless USB dongle
(http://zd1211.ath.cx/)
I've tried a driver from "safecom" (manufacture of the device) and
http://zd1211.ath.cx/download/ with same result (same error message
about intr_urb).
According some post on internet this should be timing issue to
initialize URB. But modifications from the post didn't resolved the problem.
1. Is there anybody who had similar problem and successfully resolved it?
2. What other wireless USB dongles are supported in Linux?
3. What wireless USB dongles are capable turbo mode 125mbps in Linux?
4. Is there a better place to ask for a help?
Note I tried same USB dongle at home in Mandrake 2006 and driver loaded
without error message. I was able scan for WLANS with variable success
(similar result was obtained in windows -- number networks on scans
varies). So far no more tests was done at home (received USB dongle
yesterday and had only about an hour to play with it).
Thank you for help,
Andy
