Thanks for stepping up John. I'm really new to the netdev area, but I thought I'd throw this out as I've been watching this thread with interest...
The GPL Realtek driver Andrea Merello: http://rtl8180-sa2400.sourceforge.net/ and http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Linux.Wireless.drivers.802.11b.html#RealtekGPL) seems like a prime candidate for inclusion as lots of people have reported success... That said, I've been unable to successfully make it work on my card (it binds to the card, brings it up, but doesn't ever pass traffic). I did send Andrea some feedback (as well as a patch that's floating around on the internet to bring it up-to-date on the way it uses a few interfaces so that it will compile), as well as a typo or two - but I never got a response either time I sent it to him. =( If there is some reason it's been rejected from inclusion, I might even try my hand at getting it to conform. Either way, I thought I'd express interest in that getting into mainline. -- Phil Dibowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] Freeware and Technical Pages Insanity Palace of Metallica http://www.phildev.net/ http://www.ipom.com/ "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Suess
