Hi! I'm using usb wireless adaptor named
07d1:3a0d D-Link System DWA-120 802.11g Wireless 108G (taken from lsusb)

System is Debian wheezy with 3.8 kernel taken from ubuntu reps. But after launch this adaptor doesn't work: no any new network interfaces is shown in ifconfig.

As far as I understood, such vendor:product (07d1:3a0d) isn't specified in drivers/net/wireless/ath/ar5523/ar5523.c, and therefore the driver doesn't recognise my device. Firmware 'ar5523.bin' is located in /usr/local/lib/firmware.

What can I do to make this adaptor work? Only add that v:p pair to ar5523.c and recompile it? Just if that can be done without compiling - it will be great.

You can test to see if it works with that kernel with the following commands (as root):

modprobe -v ar5523
echo 07d1 3a0d > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/ar5523/new_id

If the device would work by adding that USB ID to the device table, then the above commands should accomplish the same result. Note - these commands will need to be re-entered after every reload of ar5523.
