I got some good pointers from that article, and proceeded to grab the Realtek rt8180L driver source code from Sourceforge, got it compiled and deployed. However, although the card was detected and the ACT link light lit up, there was no connection established. Checking the output of "iwlist wlan1 scan" shows the Link Quality hovers consistently between 0/100 and 32/100, even though the laptop is practically next to the access point. I am beginning to think half of the problem is the device drivers for these old cards do not seem to be included in Feisty, but the other half seems to be the lack of support for these wireless devices in the kernel itself. The reason I am coming to this conclusion is because I had exactly the same outcome with a Belkin F5D7050 USB stick, which uses rt73 drivers (I downloaded and compiled up the driver and got it recognised by the kernel, only to get the same problem with the link quality). I would like to protect my investment in these wireless cards for a while, can you recommend a working wireless solution for Feisty ?
