after the "modprobe zd1211b" check if there is a valid wifi interface as such -
Hopefully you should see a wifi interface listed ... probably called "wlan0". This may need to be brought up -
Now this interface (wlan0) should certainly be seen by the Network Wizard.
or OPTION B - how to add "zd1211b" module to Network Wizard driver list -
open /etc/networkmodules in Geany, add these lines, and save.
Code: Select all
zd1211 "usb: ZyDAS 802.11b/g USB Wireless LAN adapter"
zd1211b "usb: ZyDAS 802.11b/g USB Wireless LAN adapter"

Done, used eth0, yields CP. Not in NW wizard. Rebooted, not in NW wizard.

Pasted both as required and saved. zd1211b now in NW wizard list. Loads from list OK. Does not find interface, zd1211rw does.
Blacklisted zd1211rw and rebooted. NW wizard "Autoload USB", no interface found. Un blacklisted zd1211rw. NW wizard "Autoload USB", Has interface with zd1211rw, eth0.
zd1211b.ko and zd1211.ko located at: /lib/modules/2.6.21.7/net. zd1211rw.ko located at: /lib/modules/2.6.21.7/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/z/lib/modules/2.6.21.7/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/zd1211rw. Reboot, NW wizard install failed. Moved zd1211b back to /lib/modules/2.6.21.7/net. Rebooted NW wizard loads OK, no interface.
zd1211b.ko is properly located and in list. NW wizard can find it and load it. zd1211b.ko just does not find interface. Wifi unit seems to have connection to the modem with zd1211rw.ko, so the RF link seems to be good.
