 |
|
Guys,
I am happened to have a Linksys Wireless B PCMCIA card (model WPC11 ver4). I want to use it on my laptop. lspci detected it as:
01:00.0 Ethernet controler: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8180L 802.11b MAC (rev 20)
I dont see any suitable driver (under PCMCIA section) in the kernel configuration that i can add to support this card. Please, anyone have an idea how to make this pcmcia card work? I have consult some linux wireless guide, some say the radio chip must be known to find the correct driver by using.
However, cardctl ident command tell nothing about the radio chip
In addition, the following error is shown during boot:
| Code: | PCMCIA support detected
Starting pcmcia ...
cardmgr[8303]: could not adjust resource: IO port 0xc00-0xcff: Function not implemented
cardmgr[8303]: could not adjust resource: IO port 0xc00-0x8ff: Function not implemented

it wont compile:
make -C /lib/module/2.6.18-gentoo-r6-20070103/build SUBDIRS=/root/rtl8180-0.21 MOVERDIR=/root/rtl8180-0.21 modules
make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-2.6.18-gentoo-r6'
scripts/Makefile.build:17: /root/rtl8180-0.21/Makefile: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** No rule to make target '/root/rtl8180-0.21/Makefile'. Stop.
make[1]: ***[_module_/root/rtl8180-0.21] error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-2.6.18-gentoo-r6'
make: *** [2.6] error 2
The installation document doesnt mention anything about moving the folder to anywhere. What is the cause of this error? |

hmm, it seems like it cant find the Makefile in the /root/rtl8180-0.21
Im not an expert at this, but have you done ./configure?
edit.
You did try the portage version first, didnt you?
net-wireless/rtl8180
