I've bought TP-LINK WN422G USB wireless card with Zydas chipset (as stated by the seller) in the hope it will be supported by zd1211rw driver (listed here [1]), but it seems it's not. I've tried to find help on linuxforums.org [2] =E2=80=94 the only open option is to use ndiswrapper, which (a) is report= ed not to work earlier in the thread and (b) is the last option for me to consider. Search in linux-wireless's archives yielded only a result [3] with a patch included in my kernel (Ubuntu-2.6.31-14.48). My card's vendor:product id is 0cf3:1006 (different that the one listed [1] for WN422G). If i execute the following after plugging the card: echo "0cf3 1006 FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF 0 0 1" | sudo tee -a /sys/bus/usb/drivers/zd1211rw/new_id dmesg reports (notice the 5s interval between first and second entry): -------------- [21745.628183] usb 2-1: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 9 [21750.776294] usb 2-1: read over firmware interface failed: -110 [21750.888072] usb 2-1: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 9 [21751.085403] zd1211rw: probe of 2-1:1.0 failed with error -110 -------------- lsusb reports the card as Bus 002 Device 009: ID 0cf3:1006 Atheros Communications, Inc What I can do to better diagnose the problem and possibly get the card working? best regards, Piotr Findeisen [1] http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Devices/USB [2] http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/wireless-internet/154830-tl-wn422g-probl= em-2.html [3] 5 messages on 2009-02-04, http://marc.info/?l=3Dlinux-wireless&w=3D2&r=3D1&s=3Dwn422g&q=3Db --------------enig73451DD42CC59CF80E58AECC Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAksCzZUACgkQhIjjAqQbQwMh4ACffE58tS4AXgCEXF1RWRoNuKMm XG8An1cfPzfmODoYUv9UiswqkMcRuEVq =ZMzS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig73451DD42CC59CF80E58AECC--
