Fedora Users — Re: Errors compiling RTL8180 driver

Hi folks,

I'm trying to make my Netgear wireless pcmcia card to work under FC2.
I downloaded the driver for it, RTL8180 version 1.5. However, when I
try to compile I'm getting lots of errors. Yes, I have the Makefile
pointing to the correct paths.

Some errors:

Can someone explain to me how to successfuly compile this driver?

Thanks,

Martin

I dont think you can compile the closed source realtek driver with current fedora kernels. You can however use ndiswrapper ( http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net ) with a winxp realtek driver successfully on fedora core 2
