Hello,

The revision r83 driver that was on our FTP site was originally compiled
for a TS-WIFIBOX/TS-7400. The current shipping TS-7400 kernel has a
newer version of the wireless extensions in the kernel than the other
TS-7xxx products. I've moved the previously compiled rev 83 driver to
the r83/ts7400 folder
(ftp://oz.embeddedarm.com/wireless/zd1211/r83/ts7400/zd.o) and recompiled
the rev 83 driver against the kernel that is currently shipping on all
other TS-7xxx products. I've verified the reported problems as well as
the driver currently on the FTP site is properly working on a TS-7xxx
boards with the current shipping kernel.

Let me know if you see any problems with the new driver.
