Comment 4 for bug 209466

Alexander, didn't I title it "zd1211rw" ?, I'm sorry.

Steffen who submittet a Atheros bugfix (208306) has kindly provided me with a patch to test the ZyXEL adapters, containing this code addition to the debian patch as far as I know :

+ } else if (!nm_null_safe_strcmp("zd1211rw", kernel_driver)) {
+ nm_info("testing fix for zd1211rw");
+ ap_scan = "AP_SCAN 1";
+ has_buggy_apscan_2 = TRUE;

Unfortunately the patch do not work quit as I expected, but seems as a step closer to a solution.
The odd is that a "iwconfig" now shows a funny essid while the connection is going on - something like "}2% af¨&~", but different from connection
attempt to connection attempt. Executing a "sudo iwconfig eth1 essid MySSID" while connecting make it connect. I've seen you mention something about this in another bug I think, so maybe you have a solution on this issue ?
