More on WLAN Investigation

I tried a few other distros after a Fedora update broke my system. Thing is, Linux Mint had the same ZD1211 problem. *

It turns out that the bootcode error is not an uncommon problem, and as usual, there is no documentation for the driver from the vendor, nor is there anything to be gained from spending hours combing through forums. People who have this problem are just screwed.

I wonder if this is part of my udev issue.

Anyway, I did see in one Debian thread that it's possible several versions of the driver are loading at once and colliding. Of course, there is no information on how to get this to stop happening, but it's a start.

Maybe it says something about how bad getting info is when my efforts to look into this by a Google search have as the first item my own ramblings on how there is no information.

*Ubuntu is a dud. I give up on them. I've tried 5 versions and my lappy barfed them all up.
