> When opened the net8185.inf file with text edit, it says the provider
is Realtek.
A trip to www.realtek.com.tw indicates they have they have a PCMCIA
wireless card "8185" :

4112&series=All&Software=True
It says its for 10.4, but I only have 10.3.9 on my lombard. I
installed anyway but when I try and run the wireless utility it tells
me there is no wireless LAN card installed. It might be you have to
have 10.4 on the machine.
At no point am I getting any lights on the card so it is possible its
a bum card. The fact that Realtek has a mac driver is encouraging
though.
The networking kernel stuff has substantially changed with 10.4 which might
explain why the driver won't work on 10.3.x...
-Laurent.
Unfortunately I dont have an easy way to test the theory. If I find
time I can try installing 10.4 on another notebook.
