I meant the patch should have applied to the vanilla kernel source as
well, if you have gone to the trouble of recompiling the kernel to get
mac80211 as module. (i.e. don't bother with compat-wireless).

That's strange. Do you have the crda package installed? You need the
regulatory database userland stuff for crda to work.

Hmm, I am not familiar with the LED code in zd1211rw - somebody else
please comment.
