System: Intel Pentium II, 192mb RAM, Ubuntu Feisty w/latest updates

I have a USB wireless card branded as "Canyon CN-WF518 Wireless Network Interface USB 2.0 Adapter IEEE 802.11b/802.11g". When plugged in, Feisty correctly recognises the card and loads the zd1211rw module and NetworkManager can correctly scan wireless networks, but when I try to connect to my home network using WPA/WPA2-PSK, the connection can never establish correctly.

By accident I discovered that if I modprobe zd1211rw-mac80211, then NetworkManager will correctly connect to the WPA network. Can you please fix future versions of the kernel to modprobe zd1211rw-mac80211 for my USB card to? I'm attaching some relevant logs in an archive (before and after I modprobe zd1211rw-mac80211), but this may be all the information you need:
