zd1211-firmware: pluscom wu-zd1211b

2008-11-22T13:08:13Z

Hello everybody,

I have posted a bug report for debian sid some time ago, but the
maintainer seems to be occupied elsewhere, so I am posting this to the
developers list, hoping for a more effective response.

I have bought a few zd1211b but they did not work here are the reports:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=505143

[11074.920126] firmware: requesting zd1211/zd1211b_ub

[11076.041846] usb 5-3: USB control request for firmware upload failed.

-110
[11076.041943] zd1211rw 5-3:1.0: couldn't load firmware. Error number -110

Any ideas?

Best regards,

Jelle

AP mode

2008-11-18T07:02:35Z

Hi

I'd like to build an access point using a Siemens Gigaset USB stick (which
runs with the zd1211rw driver).
AP mode is not yet supported in the driver. Are there any plans to support it?

Thanks for a quick answer.

Marco

TP-LINK TL-WN322G (zd1211rw) -- big problem, needs solution.

2008-11-14T06:13:02Z

Hello,

I've got this stick, using debian sid and trying the zydas1211rw-driver, but scanning for access points does not work.
here is my problem:

1 [ 1411.959884] usbcore: registered new interface driver zd1211rw
2. [ 1413.534926] firmware: requesting zd1211/zd1211b_ub

4. [ 1413.587225] zd1211rw 4-6.1:1.0: RF MAXIM_NEW_RF 0x8 is not supported

6. [ 1425.447744] firmware: requesting zd1211/zd1211b_uphr

arisv@yolanda:~/Desktop/ZD1211LnxDrv_2_22_0_0$ sudo ifconfig wlan0 up

SIOCSIFFLAGS: Connection timed out

using the windows driver with ndiswrapper, works smoothly, but it's crappy. i do want to use that card with the linux native driver, is any safe way?

additional info: (kernel) 2.6.26-1-686

Bus 004 Device 009: ID 0ace:1215 ZyDAS WLA-54L WiFi

Looking forward to ur response! :-) As i can see, many people suffer from this problem. Any helpful ideas?

Best regards,

Re: zd1211rw and TP-Link's TL-WN322G

2008-10-29T02:44:35Z

I recently acquired an ICIDU NI-707503 adapter which is based on the ZD1211b chipset (vendor = 0ACE,
product = 1215).

I installed the latest firmware onto my system which is running OpenSUSE 11 and plugged in the adapter. The adapter was correctly identified and the zd1211rw driver was loaded.

However I am also getting the "RF MAXIM_NEW_RF 0x8 is not supported" error message.

My questions are:

1) Does MAXIM_NEW_RF represent an actual RF chip or is this just a place holder for various unsupported chips.
2) How can I determine which RF chip my adapter has?
3) What actions can I take to ensure support? I am willing to code, test, debug if I know what to do.

In what way exactly is the zd1211rw not "mature"?

I don't currently use the rw driver - I chose to port the vendor driver forward because it provides master mode (on 32-bit intel systems), which
the rw driver does not, (despite somebody claim it to be "easy" to add,
as early as 2005, I think).

>From my experience about a year ago of using the rw driver on a 64-bit
system for a few months, the rw driver works quite alright in client/station mode. ad hoc mode support was added in the last few months,
and master mode is still nowhere in sight. (whereas the vendor driver does
not work at all in 64-bit system, and I have tried looking into it and fixing it without success). While certainly limited in scope and functionality, what the rw driver claims to do, it does quite well and work as good as any other wireless device driver within the scope of what it claims to be able to do: station mode only, cleanly written code which works well on 32-bit/64-bit and non-intel platforms.

I don't know about you, but after waiting 2 years for zd1211rw driver to mature, perhaps the best idea is to buy a different
kind of wireless card.

have to reboot 9-10 times, then zd1211rw is stable

2008-10-20T20:48:59Z

I bring up my system.
After enabling my zydas wireless card, system generally hangs after about 10-20 seconds.
I have to reboot 9 or 10 times.
When it does not hang, then it is good for a very long time. (many days)
So............ I dread OS updates. Any ideas?

PN15G firmware upload problems

2008-10-09T06:22:24Z

I've had an issue with the wlan device ever since i bought it.
Essentially, it never works on startup. Every time i boot my machine i
have to replug the device 10's of times to get the firmware to load.
When it starts working it is 98% of the time very stable. This has been
a low priority issue for me because the machine was on 24/7 but now that
i would like to hibernate the machine this has become a showstopper.

Any ideas?

I actually don't use the rw driver, because I need Master mode (which, currently, only the vendor driver provides). Somebody will hate me for mentioning this - there are people who had some experience with making the vendor driver work on ARM:
http://linux.omap.com/pipermail/davinci-linux-open-source/2007-February/002478.html
http://www.mail-archive.com/davinci-linux-open-source@.../msg02723.html

On a different issue, have you tried "modprobe -r" between attempts?

When you plug the dongle in at the first time,the firmware files get uploaded in the correct way(ref: first section of dmesg log). It errors out when you do an 'ifconfig' subsequently. My firmware files are located in /lib/firmware/zd1211/.

thanks for the reply.

zd1211rw and TP-Link's TL-WN322G

2008-09-23T05:14:17Z

Hallo,

I bought a TL-WN322G manufactured by TP-Link. This device has a ZyDAS-Chipset and is recognized by zd1211rw as a supported device.
Nevertheless, I encounter a problem using it. If I try to call iwlist wlan1 scan to scan for available APs, iwlist complains that the network was down.
Using ifconfig wlan1 up to manually bring the device up results in an error message reading SIOCSIFFLAGS: no such device.
The complete dmesg output from plugging in the device until the above error message reads as follows:

usb 2-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 8
usb 2-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
usb 2-2: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 8
phy1: Selected rate control algorithm 'pid'
zd1211rw 2-2:1.0: phy1

(This is the point where I issued the ifconfig wlan1 up command)

firmware: requesting zd1211/zd1211b_ub
firmware: requesting zd1211/zd1211b_uphr
zd1211rw 2-2:1.0: RF MAXIM_NEW_RF 0x8 is not supported

I hope someone is able to help me with my problem.

Thanks in advance,
J. Pietron

A question about scanning

2008-09-21T06:15:26Z

Hello,
I run FC9 with zd1211rw driver and a ZyDas USB wireless network card.
When I try scanning thus:

iwconfig wlan0 mode managed
ifconfig wlan0 up
iwlist wlan0 scanning

I do succeed to get correct results.

but:
iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor
ifconfig wlan0 up
iwlist wlan0 scanning
gives:
wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Operation not supported

My question is (and I admit I am a little noobie on this): With
zd1211, am I able to perform scanning only in managed mode and not in
other modes, like monitor/Ad-Hoc mode ?

Is it so also with wireless drivers of other vendors ?

Regards,
IB

problem changing channels

2008-09-12T04:49:23Z

hello,

I have a problem with changing channels. I'm doing automated stress test that change configuration from channel to another one.

when I change channel in my Gateway, I always must unload and load zd1211rw.ko.

Loading and unloading module (with 5 seconds between the tow tasks) causes me a material crash (PC does not respond and leds in keyborad still flashing.

I have a ubuntu 7.10 kernel 2.6.22-14-generic installed on a NEC PC with 2Go memory and Processor Intel Core 2 Duo CPU E4500 2.20Ghz.

Note that this problem does not occurs with a PC that have a CPU more than 3.4Ghz.

thanks in advance

Nadia

I have two different wlan sticks, one regular A-Link 802.11b/g (vid/pid
0ace:1215) and the second one is 802.11a/b/g stick from a small company.
Both are with ZD1211B chip (I open these and check it) and these also works
fine on 2.6.18 kernel.

I add mac address by modifying zd1205.c (line 6293...) and after that I can
set ethX up, also "iwconfig ethX" display settings and I can change SSID and
so on, but "iwlist ethX scanning" doesn't do anything except this appear to
the dmesg:

I have recently upgraded to 2.6.26.2 and the same patch works fine.

Maybe you have a zd1211 chip (rather than the b chip)? 802.11a is a bit old.
and what vid/pid do you have, exactly?

zd1211 and 802.11a for kernel 2.6.24 or newer

2008-08-13T01:37:51Z

Hello

Is there any workable patch for vendor 2.22 driver and kernel 2.6.24 or newer?
I try driver ZD1211LnxDrv_2_22_0_0__2_6_24.tar.gz first, but it doesn't work.

<dmesg>
zd1211: failed intr_urb
Calling zd1211_InitSetup fails
zd1211: probe of 5-5:1.0 failed with error -5
</dmesg>

So I try to fix it by changing usb_fill_bulk_urb functions to usb_fill_int_urb
and so on, and now it register driver, but ethernet hwaddress is
00:00:00:00:00:00. And now I have no idea what to do :)

I also try ZD1211LnxDrv_2_22_0_0.working-on-2.6.25.1-but-ugly.diff patch and
it works as well as my modified driver, it load the driver, but mac is same
00:00:00:00:00:00 :).

I know there is zd1211rw driver and it works fine, but I really need 802.11a
and kernel 2.6.24 or newer.

Development effort

2008-08-12T23:35:57Z

AoA,
Can any one give me a rough estimate that how much
effort is involved in developing a USB driver for this
1211 chip for an embedded host? Ofcourse the USB
host/802.11 stacks and HW drivers are already
availble.
If someone claims that it would take him/her just 3/4
months to write a complete driver for this chip then
would it be really possible?

Regards
Waqar

Re: Problem when trying ad-hoc patch for zd1211rw

2008-07-15T09:24:31Z

I have FC9 , x86_64.

ls /lib/modules/2.6.25-14.fc9.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/zd*
gives:

/lib/modules/2.6.25-14.fc9.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/zd1201.ko

/lib/modules/2.6.25-14.fc9.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/zd1211rw:
zd1211rw.ko

So no zd1211.ko !

I checked also on a 32 bit machine running FC8.
There I have:

under /lib/modules/2.6.23.1-42.fc8/kernel/drivers/net/wireless:
I have only these two:
zd1201.ko and
zd1211rw-mac80211/zd1211rw-mac80211.ko

So also no zd1211.ko on 32 bit!

I also checked on FC7 (x86_64) and there I have only:
zd1201.ko

So where is this zd1211 ? should I download it from somewhere ?
Thanks in advance !

Mark

*which* vendor driver are you using? The kernel modules
are called zd1211 and zd1211b. (and you obviously has a
device with id 0x1211, not 0x1201.

Hello,

Thanks.

In sys log I see:
usbcore: registered new interface driver zd1201

I tried "modprobe zd1201".
I see no wireles card with iwconfig or ifconfig -a;

running "iwconfig" gives:

lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

I will try later on 32 bit machine and see.

Argh, the whole point of the blacklist file is that it
stops udevd from loading specific kernel modules for you.
So udevd doesn't do it for you and you have to modprobe
yourself, manually.

Hmm, and you did not mention that you are using x86_64 - that's a lot of
difference, since x86 32-bit is still mainstream, and you may be between
a rock and a hard place because I know the vendor driver
has some 64-bit portability issues. On the machine
where I use the vendor driver it is stock 2.6.25.1 on slackware, 32-bit.
On the other machine where I have dual drivers for another wireless
chip, it is 2.6.25.10-91.fc9.x86_64, I believe.

Re: Problem when trying ad-hoc patch for zd1211rw

2008-07-15T07:33:35Z

Hello,
I added:
blacklist zd1211rw
to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
and , when there zd1201rw and zd1201 modules are not loaded,
I tried plugging the zd1211 USB nic.
None of the two drivers were insmoded.

lsmod | grep zd
gives nothing.

I wonder: which kernel are you using ?
"uname -r" gives "2.6.25-14.fc9.x86_64" on my machine.

When plugging the usb nic I see this in the syslog:

kernel: usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5
kernel: usb 1-4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
kernel: usb 1-4: New USB device found, idVendor=0ace, idProduct=1211
kernel: usb 1-4: New USB device strings: Mfr=16, Product=32, SerialNumber=0
kernel: usb 1-4: Product: USB2.0 WLAN
kernel: usb 1-4: Manufacturer: ZyDAS

but that's all I get.

Any idea? I am bewildered.

Mark

I am surprised you feel *entitled* to be disappointed. You have the source code
of two drivers and you have the hardware, which is exactly the same situation
as me. Feel free to look inside.

I am not involved with either driver but just happened to have spent some time
with the vendor driver because I needed master mode, which the rw driver does
not provide - and I posted the patch a few weeks ago. I have spent a little time
tracing the code path in the rw driver for you - which you could have done
yourself.

You can tell udevd not to autoload kernel modules by putting
them in the blacklist file. It is /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist on my system
but maybe somewhere else under /etc/modprobe* . This is the standard
way of trying alternative kernel-module drivers - put all of them
in blacklist, and do modprobe explicitly to load each of them.

I have both the vendor driver and the rw driver for this,
and another alternative pairs of drivers for a different wireless chip
on another machine.
