zd1211-d80211 is already is kernel.org 2.6.21rc1 fedora-devel is using
(named 2.6.20 because of release candidate 1)
you may need to use
echo "blacklist zd1211rw" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
echo "blacklist zd1211" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
echo "alias wmaster0 zd1211rw-mac80211" >> /etc/modprobe.conf
echo "alias wlan0 zd1211rw-mac80211" >> /etc/modprobe.conf

zd1211-firmware is now GPL and in review here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=221675
last version generates firmware from sources
I might be tested (you can just rebuild it normally - or find it on
the same dir)

Will you have better success with wireless tools and iwconfig iwlist command?
Here is a quick HOWTO
su -
iwconfig wlan0 mode managed
iwconfig wlan0 essid $ESSID
iwconfig wlan0 channel $CHANNEL
iwconfig wlan0 key $WEP_KEY
iwconfig wlan0 ap $AP
ifconfig wlan0 up

ifconfig wlan0 inet 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default gw 192.168.1.1
 or
dhclient wlan0
