Hiya, having trouble getting wireless working. I'm running a TS-7260
with Debian 2.4 on a SD Card.

I bought the USB wireless supplied with the TS-7260.

I follow the instructions - install the zd_b.o module via insmod, then
configure it by specifying the Access Point and Key, configure
interfaces to use dhcp rather than a static IP and call "ifconfig
wlan0 up"

wlan0     802.11b/g NIC  ESSID:"FreeAccess"
          Mode:Managed  Frequency=2.437 GHz  Access Point: Not-Associated
          Bit Rate:1 Mb/s
          Retry:off   RTS thr=2432 B   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:****-****-**   Security mode:open
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality:80/100  Signal level:52/100  Noise level:7/100
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:385840  Invalid misc:895   Missed beacon:0

Note the huge number in excessive retries and although the essid is set, and
you can see the access point with iwlist below. Just to make sure my
access point
can be seen I can run iwlist wlan0 scanning and get:

wlan0     Scan completed :
          Cell 01 - Address: 00:22:6B:E2:E8:97
                    ESSID:"FreeAccess"
                    Mode:Master
                    Frequency:2.462 GHz (Channel 11)
                    Extra:SignalStrength=38%,LinkQuality:96%
                    Encryption key:on
                    Bit Rates:1 Mb/s; 2 Mb/s; 5.5 Mb/s; 11 Mb/s; 6 Mb/s
                              9 Mb/s; 12 Mb/s; 18 Mb/s; 24 Mb/s; 36 Mb/s
                              48 Mb/s; 54 Mb/s
                    Extra:bcn_int=100

Finally I do a dmesg and get the same line at the end several dozen times:

zd1211:Pure B-Mode

Turning off all encryption doesn't seem to help. Any help would be
appreciated.
