zd1211 stability issue on 2.6.25

[matthieu castet]

Hi,

I am using a zd1211 dongle [1] on 2.6.25 in wpa mode. Sometimes I got
disconnection [2]. But after that scanning seems to doesn't work anymore
[3].
This cause wpa_supplicant to do an endless lop try to find the AP in the
scan result and there no reconnection.
Only a ifconfig wlan0 down, ifconfig wlan0 up make work again scanning.

This make the dongle not usable.

Opps I copy here the wrong data.
I don't remember the result exactly, but that was something telling it=20
didn't find anything.

I got this trace after doing a ifconfig down
