Aloha, It seemed, when I was researching a wireless pc card, that this Linksys WPC11 was all game with linux. It still seems to be, except that it is "version 4", and I can't get it to work. This despite my best efforts with the Realtek 8180l driver, and following the WPC11 + Debian HOWTO that resides on www.tldp.org.
I run a Debian woody/sid mix, I compile my kernels 2.4.21 and 2.4.22 the "Debian way" with "make-kpkg kernel_image modules_image". I did an apt-get pcmcia-source and built the modules that way. The only modules I build from source are the nvidia and pcmcia-cs. linux-wlan-ng is all installed -- this is an issue with the pcmcia I think. ******* achilles:/home/fbhjr# lspci -H1 07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.: Unknown device 8180 (rev 20) ******* achilles:/home/fbhjr# cardctl info PRODID_1="" PRODID_2="" PRODID_3="" PRODID_4="" MANFID=0000,0000 FUNCID=255 PRODID_1="Realtek" PRODID_2="Rtl8139" PRODID_3="" PRODID_4="" MANFID=0000,024c FUNCID=6 ******** achilles:/home/fbhjr# cardctl ident Socket 0: no product info available Socket 1: product info: "Realtek", "Rtl8139" manfid: 0x0000, 0x024c function: 6 (network) PCI id: 0x10ec, 0x8180 ******** dmesg before insmod: cs: cb_alloc(bus 7): vendor 0x10ec, device 0x8180 dmesg after insmod with realtek module: ******** RTL8180 Wireless Lan Driver 2003-06-11 loaded******** PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device .

It seems like IRQ and IO port are not being allocated...any ideas? I've googled the hell out of this to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
