Alright, so I've tried several times with this card, (a WB-2500
Wireless card I got cheap off of eBay) and my Debian machine.
Originally I thought the chipset was ADMTek, but that failed, and I've
since come to believe from further internet research that it is a
Realtek RTL8180 card.

So, I d/led the "sources" (the file where everything seems to happen
is actually proprietary, but you still have to go through the make
process and all), from Realtek's web site, compiled, it seemed to do
well.

Then I typed insmod -f rtl8180_24x.o as suggested, and got this error:
Warning: loading rtl8180 ... bla bla bla about tainted kernel.
rtl8180_24x.o: init_module: No such device

And then a suggestion that I look in dmesg, which told me:
****RTL8180 Wireless Lan Driver 2003-06-11 loaded******
rtl8180: NO devices found, RTL8180 Wireless Lan Drivever 2003-06-11
unregistered.

Can anyone tell me what it is I'm doing wrong? I also moved
rtl8180_24x.o to /lib/modules/2.4.18-bf2.4/kernel/net and
/lib/modules/2.4.18-bf2.4/pcmcia.
and tried modprobe by typing "modprobe rtl8180_24x.o" and it claimed
not to be able to find the file. Which bothers me. =)

Thanks for any information offered...
