Bug Description
Seems the zd1211rw module is expecting the firmware to be loaded from the directory /lib/firmware/
Having the symlinks
/lib/firmware/
and
/lib/firmware/
seemed to get the driver properly loaded in my case (zd1211b chip).

After this fix I'm able to see my AP with `iwlist scan` and even iwconfig would suggest everything is fine.
Unfortunately I'm unable to get an ip-address using dhcp and it would seem that no packages are sent out as dhcp claims it is broadcasting. I draw this conclusion from the fact that neither the wlan dongle's light nor the AP:s wlan light is blinking.
I'll be glad to try any remedy or to give more information. I'm best reached through irc (as mvirkkil).
