zd1211rw Firmware Bug Status?

[Michael Kuredjian]

Hey, Andrey,

I'd be happy to test out the patch, but I first have to obtain a card  
which uses the RT7x USB chip. Can you recommend a card which would be  
suitable? For now, I've built a mesh using four MPs and one MPP. I  
will be designating a MAP from one of the four stations later on  
today. For what it's worth, the symptoms I've encountered with the  
zd1211rw cards have been loss of connectivity over a period of time.  
When I perform "iw dev mesh station dump", peer zd1211rw cards aren't  
seen.

For now, I've started using b43 cards, and the performance seems  
rather poor. A pretty pedestrian test: downloading an Ubuntu ISO from  
a MP via University of Waterloo mirror yields ~30KB/s. Most  
importantly, however, is that it is stable.
