My guess: some module you need hasn't been loaded. Don't know that driver, so can't say which.

The crypto_cipher_decrypt/encrypt symbols don't appear here, and I'm using the same kernel version. There are inline functions with those names in 2.6.20-r8, but in 2.6.21-r4 the only function names are
crypto_cipher_encrypt_one and crypto_cipher_decrypt_one. The rtl8180 source isn't developed anymore by the original guy, so it probably never got updated for 2.6.21:
net-wireless/rtl8180 is not developed anymore
There's a link to a new svn ebuild that has sources updated to work with kernels up to 2.6.22.

log as root:
after that:
| Code: | cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig |
Go to:
Networking --->
Mark as Modules <M> the following itens:
<M> Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack
<M> IEEE 802.11 WEP encryption (802.1x)
Then:
Exit
Exit
After that:
| Code: | make && make modules_install
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/"your kernel" |
Configure your bootloader.
For grub:
| Code: | | grub-install /dev/hda |
Change hda for your hd
For lilo:
After that:
| Code: | | nano /etc/modules.autoload/kernel-2.6 |
Add the following itens each per line:
| Code: | ieee80211
ieee80211_crypt
ieee80211_crypt_wep |
Save and exit.
You can go on testing with:
| Code: | modprobe ieee80211
modprobe ieee80211_crypt
modprobe ieee80211_crypt_wep |
Next time you reboot the modules will be autoloaded.
Jeanck.
P.S.: sorry for the rush... |
