There is a closed source driver from realtek, however it does not support 2.6 (yet, probably) and seems to be quite buggy. Having read a thread [2] about this, in which mr. Jeff Garzik seemed to imply that he was working with the realtek people to create an open source driver, I was wondering if anybody could confirm the existance of such an initiative. If it exists I'd like to offer my help, both towards developping (I'm a newbie, but I'd be happy to learn :) and/or testing. thanks in advance [1] http://sup.nl.packardbell.be/pri/ index.php?PibItemNr=spec_WL_BilliontonMIWLRP [2] http://groups.google.com/ groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&c2coff=1&threadm=Heux.4nY.7% 40gated-at.bofh.it&rnum=1&prev=/groups%3Fhl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26oe% 3Dutf-8%26c2coff%3D1%26q%3D8180%2Bgarzik%26btnG%3DGoogle%2BSearch -- Pieter-Augustijn Van Malleghem, aka GeekAssault - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
