I guess I should give the new in-kernel driver a try.

Not in stable tree, dropping block

net_dev.patch

Quick and dirty patch to reflect that get_wireless_stats, moved almost ten
minor versions ago from net_device to iw_handler_def, was finally removed from
net_device. Sets ZDCONF_WE_STAT_SUPPORT=0 in the Makefile to simply disable
get_wireless_stats usage. Some more sophisticated solution might be better, but
hopefully the driver developers will do that soon -- or improve the zd1211rw
branch, included now in the kernel sources, to fully replace the old branch
finally.

Patch for the zd1211-83.ebuild to use net_dev.patch

Thank you I have added version 85 which builds with 2.6.21 here.
