 |

I have been racking my brain with this cheap card. I've been through all the forums and couldn't find a solution. Eventually I came across a project on sourceforge where some lovely people were building an opensource driver for the card http://sourceforge.net/projects/rtl8180-sa2400. Well I tried compiling that and got all kinds of lovely bugs. After scouring the sourceforge forums I saw a post from one of the devlopers stating that the driver had been merged into PORTAGE!!!!!  So here is how you get your rtl8180 (WPC11 ver. 4) working.
| Code: | | # /etc/init.d/pcmcia restart |
verify the new modules are loaded
| Code: | | # iwconfig wlan0 essid YOURESSID key YOURWEPKEY |
I added the iwconfig line to the top of my /etc/init.d/conf.d/net.wlan0
The card works absolutely perfectly. Thank you to the RTL8180 programmers and thanks to gentoo for the addition to PORTAGE!!!!!
BTW - I am running this card on a SONY PCG-505FX - Pentium-MMX 266 with 64 mb ram. Works like a charm... |

localhost ~ # emerge rtl8180

What does this mean? When I try to emerge rtl8180 that shows up. What can I do about this?

I have the same message. See if http://gentoo-wiki.com/Masked works for you. I haven't tried it yet but it looks like it will fix the problem. |
