open80211s

[Andrey Yurovsky]

No, you do not need to run "make load" or "make unload".  You do
however need to:
1) unload the vendor driver and blacklist it (this is a one-time step)

sudo modprobe -r zd1211

Using sudo, edit the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and add the line
"blacklist zd1211"

2) load the zd1211rw driver:

sudo modprobe zd1211rw

>From now on (basically, after Step 1) the zd1211rw driver should load
when you insert the USB device.
