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

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.
I went to: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=129083
and downloaded the firmware package and put it in /lib/firmware/zd1211.
I then pulled out the adapter plugged it in and the firmware loaded
successfully.
After a bit of fiddling I was able to get a WEP connect to my local
wireless network using the Sysyem>Administration>Network GUI.
I still have the same question as to where the firmware is in the FC6
set of packages.
Thanks
Phil
