can actually install it on your own: http://sourceforge.net/projects/zd1211/files/

i know the files should go into: /lib/firmware/

sudo -s

wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/zd1211/zd1211-firmware/1.4/zd1211-firmware-1.4.tar.bz2

tar -xvzf zd1211-firmware-1.4.tar.bz2
cd zd1211
make clean && make && make install

modprobe zd1211
ifconfig wlan0 up
echo zd1211 >> /etc/modules
exit

Something like that, think thats the one you need.

Now I reached this status. (Foresight Linux GNOME Edition 2.5.0 x86_64)
It doesn't work yet but it may be no need to install this modules.

$ modprobe -l | grep zd1211rw
