Jeff & Dave, This patch adds z1211 (previously known as zd1211rw-mac80211), a driver for Zydas ZD1211 hardware. This driver has proven very robust -- Fedora 7 uses this driver and I don't think I have any open bugzillas for it. Either the driver works well, or no one as using it...given the common availability of the hardware, I have to presume the former. :-) This driver is mostly a port of zd1211rw to the mac80211 infrastructure. In fact, most zd1211rw patches have been mirrored directly to this driver for some time. I considered merely updating the existing driver with this code, but I think it is more prudent to include this as a separate driver just to avoid confusion. There is some symbol clash between the two drivers, so I add a Kconfig hack to ensure that only one or the other is built-in or that this one is built as a module. The maintainers have identified some (IMHO minor) issues with the mac80211 port of this driver. Some of them are summarized here: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/zd1211rw/mac80211Issues Still, I think we would be better-off having this driver upstream.
