Hello,

I'm trying to put my USB Zydas wifi to work on master mode. I'm using 
TS 2.6.21 kernel on a TS-7200 board. When I connect the wifi adapter 
I get : 
zd1211rw 1-3:1.0: usb_probe_interface
zd1211rw 1-3:1.0: usb_probe_interface - got id
ep93xx-ohci ep93xx-ohci: GetStatus roothub.portstatus [2] =

I execute a iwconfig it shows : 
:root# iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

eth1      IEEE 802.11b/g  ESSID:off/any  Nickname:"zd1211"
          Mode:Managed  Access Point: Invalid
          Encryption key:off
          Link Quality:0/100  Signal level:-144 dBm  Noise level:0 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0


If I call iwconfig eth1 mode master : 
:root# iwconfig eth1 mode master
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
    SET failed on device eth1 ; Invalid argument.

If I change the mode to ad-hoc or manger it works :
:root# iwconfig eth1 mode ad-hoc
:root# iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0



:root# iwconfig eth1 mode managed
:root# iwconfig

eth0      no wireless extensions.

eth1      IEEE 802.11b/g  ESSID:off/any  Nickname:"zd1211"

          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

Is it a problem of the TS zd1211 driver  ? It used to work on TS 2.4 
kernel.
