I'm not sure if jgarzik is working on a driver or not (he never responded to an email I sent), but I'm working on one. The main remaining issues I need to work on are figuring out the tx/rx buffer management scheme the rtl8180 uses, and getting the wireless stuff done (this is my first attempt at dealing w/ wireless nics, so associating w/ an access point and other such things are new to me).
Unfortunately, I really have been short of time lately, so progress on the driver has been slow.
