Alright I have a realtek 8180 based pci wireless card. I went to realtek's site http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloads1-3.aspx?sort=description&Keyword=8180 and found they they indeed have 2.6 kernel drivers... now when i go to compile them it gives me this error.
| Code: | make -C /lib/modules/2.6.14.2/build SUBDIRS=/root/rtl8180_1.5_release26 MODVERDIR=/root/rtl8180_1.5_release26 modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.14.2'
CC [M] /root/rtl8180_1.5_release26/r8180_pci_init.o
/root/rtl8180_1.5_release26/r8180_pci_init.c: In function `rtl8180_pci_probe':
/root/rtl8180_1.5_release26/r8180_pci_init.c:146: error: structure has no member named `slot_name'
/root/rtl8180_1.5_release26/r8180_pci_init.c:150: error: structure has no member named `slot_name'
make[2]: *** [/root/rtl8180_1.5_release26/r8180_pci_init.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [_module_/root/rtl8180_1.5_release26] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.14.2'
make: *** [modules] Error 2 |
From all my searching I can't seem to find anyone who had a similar problem. All the other posts claim that there is no 2.6 driver available but the realtek site clearly states otherwise... |

| Have you tried to build it with other (older) kernels? Often, unless they continue to update their drivers, things will eventually break in newer kernels. |
