I have a wireless adapter with the following device string from lsusb:
"ID 083a:e501 Accton Technology Corp. ZD1211B"
It's device string was not in the zd1211rw driver, so I wondered what
would happen if I added it to zd_usb.c... and voilà, now it works
great ;) (i'm writing this connected with that adapter)
I've tried it with compat-wireless-2.6.30, with kernels 2.6.28 (ubuntu
9.04) and 2.6.30 (debian sid), and it works. I've tried to do it with
the bleeding edge compat-wireless, but it wouldn't compile on any of
my machines (the stable version compiled just fine, though).
The only thing I did was to put the following line in the device
string list in drivers/net/wireless/zd1211rw/zd_usb.c:
{ USB_DEVICE(0x083a, 0xe501), .driver_info = DEVICE_ZD1211B }
Do I need to send you a patch?
(if it weren't such a minute modification I wouldn't doubt it)
I've never done it before, but i'll learn to do it if necessary ;).
If you need more testing on this device, count me.
