Zydas ZD1211 WiFi drivers and Dapper

Hey all,

    I have a Belkin F5D7050 USB WiFi adapter that has the Zydas ZD1211
chipset in it.  I got the drivers working under Breezy, but I have had no
luck under Dapper.
    I tried using the module source that is in the repositories, but with no
luck.  I even made sure by changing the makefile so that it used the 1211b
option.  Both resulted in not  setting up an interface.
    I made sure that the modules were being loaded(they were) and still
don't have a clue as to what is wrong.
    Has anyone out there gotten this chipset to work under Dapper?  Normally
I try to avoid USB WiFI like the plague, but I got an Inspiron B120 for free
and it did not have the built in wireless and it has an ExpressCard slot.
As of right now, nobody makes a wifi adapter for ExpressCard and when
someone does, Murphys Law will state that it has  a Linux unfriendly
chipset! ;)

Thanks,
Lee
