Central computer has pcmcia wifi 802.11b cards for $40 which claim to work with Linux. When I went to install it, the drivers were compiled for the Redhat kernels.
Th card is a ConnectGear We320 which uses the realtek rtl-8180 chipset. A bit of searching found this page: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloads1-3.aspx?keyword=8180 Which has what purports to be source, but I'm having trouble getting it to make and load, much less talk. Does anyone else have any experience with the rtl-8180? For What It's Worth, I'm not even having any luck getting it to talk under windows either. My laptop is a Sony Vaio PCG-fx190k. It's been frustrating, because I thought I'd try to install alsa, and am just getting complaints about initrd. lrc -- I've found something worse than oldies station that play the music I used to listen to. Oldies stations that play the "new" music I used to complain about. [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.red4est.com/lrc
