This is the rtl8180-sa2400 package from sourceforge.
It doesn’t compile (easily) on ubuntu, but I finnally got it working.
Thought I’d share it with everyone who uses that chipset.
See this website for a list of cards that are known to work.

This was compiled using the 2.6.12-10-386 kernel, I’m not sure if it’ll work with any other kernels.
Make sure to add
 Code:
|
| auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp |
to /etc/network/interfaces
This is my first package, so I hope you enjoy it. Anyone know how I can submit it to the ubuntu respositories?
This module should load on bootup, but to load it manually:
|
Code:
|
| insmod /lib/modules/2.6.12-10-386/kernel/net/rtl8180/ieee80211_crypt-r8180.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.12-10-386/kernel/net/rtl8180/ieee80211_crypt_wep-r8180.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.12-10-386/kernel/net/rtl8180/ieee80211-r8180.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.12-10-386/kernel/net/rtl8180/r8180.ko |
Unlike using ndiswrapper, or the provided realtek drivers, this can go into managed/monitor mode.
I had to use .tar.gz which contains .deb file, since I couldn’t upload it otherwise.
Enjoy!
