I'm hoping we can include the pci driver as well. (http://rtl8180-sa2400.sourceforge.net/ also has some info) 4 different drivers are actually shipped from http://rtl-wifi.sourceforge.net/wiki/Main_Page: -rtl8180-sa2400-dev (old legacy based on intel stack, which would support 8185) -rtl8187-dev (usb driver based on intel stack) -rtl8187-newstack (usb driver based on mac80211 stack) -rtl818x-newstack (new driver based on mac80211 stack, supports 8185, will replace rtl8180-sa2400-dev) We include rtl8187-newstack, which is only for usb devices. We should at least ship either rtl8180-sa2400-dev or rtl818x-newstack in addition to the usb driver in order to support more wireless devices. (I could help determine which driver would be a better fit we were serious about adding one). By the way, I couldn't find any information about the pci drivers being included for the mainline kernel. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=329089#c4 --- Comment #4 from Wade Berrier 2007-10-15 17:40:30 MST --- The rtl wiki was updated today that specified the new mac80211 8185 driver has been submitted upstream. I'm not sure what kernel version this will land in, but even still, it would be nice to have a working driver in 10.3 until then. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=329089#c6 --- Comment #6 from Wade Berrier 2007-10-16 20:58:21 MST --- Michael Wu was kind enough to backport the mac80211 driver to the 10.3 2.6.22 kernel. I copied the spec file for rtl8187 and put it in the build service: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/wberrier/openSUSE_10.3/ It's the rtl8180 driver and works perfectly. I'm currently using WPA and networkmanager. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

As it went upstream, we will get it into future versions for free.
