One other issue I have noticed with the Zydas dongle - I can't use a USB mouse in the second port on the PCMCIA USB2.0 card I use. Trying to use a mouse leads to very slow operation & a lot of 'hotplug' messages on the console (or visible in dmesg). I need to use the built-in (PS/2) mouse when using the ZYDAS dongle.
  I have verified the commands I use:
  Make sure all wlan modules and ndiswrapper are unloaded. insmod zd1211b. Plug in dongle (can be plugged in before insmodding the module).
  Then execute:
  ifconfig eth0 up iwconfig eth0 essid <MYSSID> /home/dsl/wpa_supplicant -B -Dzydas -ieth0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf pump -ieth0
  When I use the above in bootlocal.sh I have 'sleep 5' before the ifconfig command, after loading the module & then put a few other commands after iwconfig & before wpa_supplicant (e.g. modprobe the sound system, load saved sound settings, start smbd & nmbd).
  Note that if you need wpa_supplicant you will need the version I uploaded earlier as it has the ZYDAS driver in it. I'll try & put this lot into a DSL/UNC extension & submit it to Robert, rather than relying on my uploaded files.
