Hi there,
I've got a really messy problem that I'm fighting with it for a couple of days. The uncle google don't know the answer to my problem or it's hiding it very deep :/. Lets go straight to the problem. I've got a wireless card on usb. There is written a UNICORN on it and I'm sure that it's on zydas chip because I've got a cd with drivers. I've successfully installed drivers from that cd but I cannot get this wireless to work. And I cannot figure out what to do. I am a newbie to linux but I'm learning hard that's the way I chose Slackware. I know that this description is not so good so here is some stuff:
form dmesg after turning on the module by modprobe zd1211:
Code:
usb-uhci.c: $Revision: 1.275 $ time 02:01:41 Sep 1 2006
usb-uhci.c: High bandwich mode enabled
usb-uhci.c: v1.275:USB Universal Host Controller Interface driver
# big zydas :) letters
zd1211 - version 2.2.2.0
usb.c: registred new driver zd1211
when I unplug and plug again wireless card i got in dmesg:
Code:
usb.c: USB disconnected on device 00::12.0-1 address 2
hub.c: new USB device 00:12.0-1, assigned address 3
usb.c: USB device 3 (vend/prod 0xace/0x1215) is not claimed by any active driver
At this point I think that the problem is that it cannot bind my device with the driver and I have no clue how to do that or where to find it.
by lsmod i get:
Code:
Module Size Used by Not tainted
zd1211 266048 0 (unused)
usb-ohci 18856 0 (unused)
usbcore 56812 1 [zd1211 usb-ohci]
tlan 27484 0 (unused)

agpgart 45092 0 (unused)
and by lsusb:
Code:
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0ace:1215 ZyDAS
ifconfig -a
Code:
eth0:
Link encap:Ethernet
BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
lo
I didn't wrote all the messy code because this entries are to 127.0.0.1 and my wired adapter.
iwconfig
Code:
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
And the last thing I've got Slackware 11 with 2.4.33 kernel. PII 200Hz and 32MB RAM. (yeah a dinosour
)
This is all I can think that could be useful. Thanks for your solutions, pointing where to start looking or any help you can give me.
