Problem of zd1211 firmware in the 2.6.23 kernel arm board

[liu jianwei <ljw725@gmail.com>]

Dear All,
 I am using zd1211rw in the linux 2.6.23 kernel in the S3C2410 arm
board, but now I have this firmware problem:

usb 1-2: Could not load firmware file zd1211/zd1211b_ub. Error number -2
zd1211rw 1-2:1.0: couldn't load firmware. Error number -2
ifconfig: SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory

I have tried udev
adding
 SUBSYSTEM=="firmware", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/lib/udev/firmware.sh"
to the  55-lfs.rules under "/etc/udev/rules.d/"
but this  55-lfs.rules did not exist originally, we copy it from the
udev website.
(It is copied to the bottom.)


but it doesn't work. And it seems the firmare.sh file was not excuted.
(because err "sth" in it does not print out)
Do anyone know how to fix this in the 2.6.23 version kernel. I saw
some one make it work very easily in the later version kernel like
2.6.28. but we can not use those versions.

Thanks for any reply and hint!

Best wishes,
Jianwei
