I am running Feisty Beta with the 2.6.20-13-generic kernel. I wanted to
check if it worked and commented out in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist this
line:
#blacklist r818x
I have a gericom pcmcia card inserted in the laptop and Ubuntu booted without
any problem. The lspci output of my card is:
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8180L 802.11b
MAC (rev 20)
The card seems to work. At least it shows a list of available networks:
sudo iwlist wlan0 scan
wlan0 Scan completed :
Cell 01 - Address: 00:15:0C:58:8D:BE

Unfortunately I can't test as I have no password of this network. Soon I
will travel and I was wondering if "Signal level:0" was a limitation of
the driver or if something is wrong. Will I be able to use this card to
connect to an wireless network?
