You'll want to add the delay after you load the zydas zd1211 driver(and 
all of the it's dependencies) prior to trying to configure the network 
interface.

The line where you load the zdb.o module ;) The zdb.o module depends 
upon some of the other USB modules to be loaded. I believe you'll need 
usbcore.o, pcipool.o, usb-ohci.o, usb-ohci-ep93xx.o. You may also need 
scsi_mod.o and sd_mod.o. It looks like you don't have these USB modules 
loaded prior to loading zdb.o...
