Hi all, I've got my RTL8180 wireless card to work. My computer is a laptop running SuSE 9 (kernel 2.4.21-199-athlon). However, I couldn't get it to work with the newest driver (1.66). When I set my essid, the card seems to associate to the AP, and on 'ifup-dhcp wlan0', I can even track some dhcp packets in ethereal going back and forth, but somehow the connection doesn't work (no IP address is set, and when I set it manually nothing works). Fortunately I had some old driver lying around on my harddisc and that one does seem to work. Not perfectly though: the keyboard hangs for 2 seconds or so every once in a while and I can't scan for networks. dmesg gives the following lines repeatedly: wlan0 (NdisMStartBufferPhysicalMapping): map register already used (0) wlan0 (NdisMStartBufferPhysicalMapping): map register already used (1) wlan0 (NdisMStartBufferPhysicalMapping): map register already used (2) wlan0 (NdisMStartBufferPhysicalMapping): map register already used (3) wlan0 (NdisMStartBufferPhysicalMapping): map register already used (4) wlan0 (NdisMStartBufferPhysicalMapping): map register already used (5) wlan0 (NdisMStartBufferPhysicalMapping): map register already used (6) wlan0 (NdisMStartBufferPhysicalMapping): map register already used (7) wlan0 (NdisMStartBufferPhysicalMapping): map register already used (8) wlan0 (NdisMStartBufferPhysicalMapping): map register already used (9) wlan0 (NdisMStartBufferPhysicalMapping): map register already used (10) wlan0 (NdisMStartBufferPhysicalMapping): map register already used (11) wlan0 (NdisMStartBufferPhysicalMapping): map register already used (12) wlan0 (NdisMStartBufferPhysicalMapping): map register already used (13) wlan0 (NdisMStartBufferPhysicalMapping): map register already used (14) wlan0 (NdisMStartBufferPhysicalMapping): map register already used (15) wlan0 (NdisMStartBufferPhysicalMapping): map register already used (16) wlan0 (NdisMStartBufferPhysicalMapping): map register already used (17) wlan0 (NdisMStartBufferPhysicalMapping): map register already used (18) wlan0 (NdisMStartBufferPhysicalMapping): map register already used (19) wlan0 (NdisMStartBufferPhysicalMapping): map register already used (20) wlan0 (NdisMStartBufferPhysicalMapping): map register already used (21) wlan0 (NdisMStartBufferPhysicalMapping): map register already used (22) wlan0 (NdisMStartBufferPhysicalMapping): map register already used (23) wlan0 (NdisMStartBufferPhysicalMapping): map register already used (24) wlan0 (NdisMStartBufferPhysicalMapping): map register already used (25) wlan0 (NdisMStartBufferPhysicalMapping): map register already used (26) wlan0 (NdisMStartBufferPhysicalMapping): map register already used (27) wlan0 (NdisMStartBufferPhysicalMapping): map register already used (28) wlan0 (NdisMStartBufferPhysicalMapping): map register already used (29) wlan0 (NdisMStartBufferPhysicalMapping): map register already used (30) I hope this helps a little bit making every driver work!

You can also try using the CVS. When reporting a problem, please always mention which version of ndiswrapper you are using. If something doesn't work, first try the latest release and if that doesn't work, use latest CVS. Your keyboard getting hung and not being able to scan is probably due hangcheck timer going off. You can disable the card getting reset in hangcheck_bh by commenting out the line res = doreset(handle); That may get old driver to "work". By old driver do you mean old ndiswrapper driver or old windows driver? -- Giri |

BTW latest CVS (even without my patches) does not work for me,=20 connection with AP seems to be established but if I do=20 > route it hangs (not the kernel only the 'route' process)=20 and the default gateway is not shown... but this is another issue :) and I hope it will get fixed more easily bye C. =20 --=20 Cristiano De Michele E-mail: cristiano.demichele@phys.uniroma= 1.it Department of Physics Tel. : +39064457131 University of Rome "La Sapienza" Fax : +39064463158 Piazzale Aldo Moro 2 I-00185 Roma - Italy =09 ------ "Shoot for the moon.
