| |
Having experienced a large set of delusions using the closed source drivers for the RealTek 8180 wireless chipset available on RealTek web site on a stock kernel 2.4.20, that do confirm the posting of fedor@karpelevitch.net on September 11 2003 about kernel freeze with stock 2.4.22, I politely complained with RealTek, suggesting they open the code or release the chipset specifications to the community.
I received today the full chipset specifications, that I uploaded to http://www.dicosmo.org/RTL8180spec_1_3.pdf
I hope this may help, if somebody is willing to undertake writing a real, full fledged, Linux-quality driver for this chipset.
Sorry for not being able to do this myself.
Yours
