The chipset is for sure the ZD1211b from ZyDas |

I don't "need" a special kernel instead I have this kernel from the vendor of |
| 23 |
the board because the board hosts special hw (like the usb controller) and so |
| 24 |
features and drivers were added to the kernel by the vendor. |
| 25 |
Maybe the usb controller (and/or his driver) is the problem? |

The driver is from Zydas. The zd1211.o module. This driver is the original |
| 28 |
driver from the manufacturer. Now from kernel 2.6.18 we have a more reliable |
| 29 |
driver (community driven) named zd1211rw. Based on zd1211 but available only |
| 30 |
for kernel 2.6. |
