Can confirm similar problem acting as wireless client (using zd1201.fw) with an MSI UB11B dongle, same driver.

With zd1201 driver on linux 2.6.22-9 it freezes. With feisty installation of 2.6.20-16 the same dongle on the same machine(s) works fine. If I tail the logs, it gets as far as sending a DHCP request before the freeze. This has been observed firstly on a desktop machine acting as a headless server (SSHed over the wired connection to try to setup the previously working wireless link), running gutsy tribe 4, then with a laptop (gen1 macbook) running GGt4 from the live CD.

I would suspect the kernel, though I see that between the working and broken configurations there is a difference in the versions for NetworkManager, avahi-daemon and the kernel, all of which are doing something around the time of the freeze.

The ID of the usb device is "ID 0db0:6823". Any further information required, let me know.
