Any idea?

antiX-core uses a libre kernel. You will probably need to install another (non-libre) kernel.

Did you put it into /lib/firmware, if not copy it in (by the root user), then reboot & it should get loaded up.

EDIT: See above, anticapitalista knows; it's his distro.

It's ok under /lib/firmware/zd1211.
I think the matter is with Linux foundation 1.1 root hub. Any package to install??
