How do I install ZD1211 driver for trendnet 424 USB WIFI?
Hi all,
First, remenber i'am french and my english is bad...
And, i just try to use a small distrib to know how it's working.
I burn a CD with PUPPY and i save datas to an USB drive (PNY, it's my work!).It's the only distrib can work well on my notebook.
All work exept wifi!!!!! I read a lot of forum....and i don't understand how to install it. I have XP drivers (INF+SYS) for Ndiswrapper, i have linux driver for ZD1211 but:
HOW TO USE "MAKE" to compil it ???
When i type "make" or "make install" a message tell me is not a bash command. i think a module missing but how to install it ?
My config is :
Celeron Mobil 1.5 512Mo SIS ship
Wifi is trendnet 424 on USB port, use ZD1211 drivers (i can read)
(With embeded network, connection is OK)
Thanks for your help

Oh. Another wireless chipset I didn't know existed - ZyDAS ZD1211. Your adaptor is not listed on the ndiswrapper compatibility webpage.
I suppose you're trying to compile the driver from http://sourceforge.net/projects/zd1211/
I will compile this driver myself and put it with the others at http://mymirrors.homelinux.org/puppy/wireless/

http://mymirrors.homelinux.org/puppy/wireless/ is not administered by me. I have to ask for access, and I want to wait until various other packages have been tested and updated first before I add the Zydas driver.
For now, I attach it to this message. Uncompress it from /

- zd1211-20050822.tar.gz
- (97.62 KiB) Downloaded 563 times
and what after download???
Another french; sorry for the english.
I downloaded your file and found three inside. Untar them and I got a new directory zd1211 in /lib/modules/net/wireless
and inside this directory a file with a .o extension.
I suppose after that i had to use modprobe. But modprobe can't find any module.
I would appreciate some help... (why not a brief tutorial?)
Puppy is on a USB stick and my wifi is also USB, brand SITECOM WL 113 and I found the linux driver was zd1211.

I just got this same USB addapter just to have an extra device test while I work on the network wizard but I'm having problems making it work:
The USB viewer shows it as 'Unknown device' but has the right device info, so I know that the USB port is OK and that the device is correctly plugged in.
I tried with ndiswrapper but it only shows "driver found" not "hardware found"
Now I'm trying this zd1211 driver:
- The module loads OK with modprobe
- lsmod shows
- dmesg shows
- ifconfig and iwconfig don't show the interface.
What am I missing?
The addapter model and version is TEW-424UB/CA H/W:V2 (it's not the flat one, it's the rounded one)

I know what's wrong with te zd1211.
The version of the addapter I have uses a different chipset (SiS163u). Still I cannot get it to work with ndiswrapper. I'll keep trying.
I was going to edit my original post but I realized that knowing that there are two versions of this same addapter may help someone else.

Am wondering which version of ndiswrapper is in Puppy 1.0.7?rarsa wrote:Thank you,
I actually tested with ndiswrapper 1.7, 1.6 and 1.5.
with the same result. It does not seem to detect the 'hardware'.
I have run into the same wall of the driver being recognized but the hardware not with a Trendware wireless pci nic.

If ifconfig -a does show the wireless nic, AND the zd1211 driver was loaded as shown by lsmod, that means the nic is down probably due to the lack of an ip address. You can assign one to it using a dhcp client like 'pump' or 'dhcpcd' (don't forget to specify the nic such as eth0 or eth1). Or you can assign one such as:
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.100 (if you know that the network you want to connect to has an ip of 192.168.1.xxx, and that no other devices has gotten that ip address). Change eth0 to eth1 as appropriate.
But if ifconfig -a does not show the wireless nic, see if the hardware is actually detected by:
cat /proc/bus/usb/devices to see if it is listed. It should since you reported the message '....detected but not claimed by any active driver...'
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.100 (if you know that the network you want to connect to has an ip of 192.168.1.xxx, and that no other devices has gotten that ip address). Change eth0 to eth1 as appropriate.
