Meant to send this to the list sorry Miguel

FWIW I finally got an 8180 based dlink dwl610 card to come up w/o WEP
using the dlink driver from the dlink UK site (card is not supported
here in the US)

I tried and tried with various realtek drivers but never could get
ndiswrapper -l to report present.

This is on fedora 1,kernel 2.4.22-1.2188.nptl, ndiswrapper 0.8 rc2.  I
tried to get the latest cvs but kept getting errors about perms on a
temp dir.


There is something funky still but I have not had time to dink with it
but will  today.

Here is the output of several pertinent commands if it helps:
