zd1211rw problems

Hi,

I've been testing zd1211rw (not the mac80211 version) a bit on my
powermac because I wanted to test AP mode for bcm43xx and use my zd1211
device as a client... Thing is, I have a few problems with it already...

For one, I get lots of warnings like this (when running in monitor mode)

[ 3354.472204] drivers/net/wireless/zd1211rw/zd_chip.c:1467 ASSERT r >= 0 VIOLATED!
[ 3354.472212] Call Trace:

Secondly, also in monitor mode, I see a huge number of invalid packets.
I can't believe there's that much noise here, and even then I shouldn't
be seeing these packets. And I mean a HUGE number, in just 10 seconds I
captured around 3700 packets! I'm pretty sure that the CRC and/or PLCP
check isn't enabled since I'm seeing things like

Beacon frame,SN=2219,FN=0,BI=100, SSID: "p\025Echel"

while the AP is actually named "puschel" (don't ask me, just someone in
my vicinity). I hope it doesn't happen in a normal (managed) mode.
