I just bought a Airlink awll3026 USB wireless adapter as it supposedly
is supported by the zd1211 driver in FC6.
When I plug it in I get in dmesg:
usb 1-1: Could not load firmware file zd1211/zd1211b_ub. Error number -2
zd1211rw 1-1:1.0: couldn't load firmware. Error number -2
usb 1-1: reset full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2

ath_hal: 0.9.17.2 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413,

Googling around I see that some file is expected to be found in
/lib/firmware, but this directory is empty.
Is there some package I specifically need to install to get the
firmware? I have 2.6.19-1.2911.fc6.
Here is my lsmod. Note the zd1211rw driver is loaded
