Alot of .11g cards don't have Linux drivers.  Honestly, I'd recomend NDISWrapper unless you want to experiment.  ;-)
 
I ended up doing NDISWrapper for my Xterasys cards as well, but they're not on the same chipset as yours.

  I've been told that drivers for 802.11g under Linux are hard to get,
due to some stupid FCC security-through-obscurity regulation or
something.  There is a software package called "ndiswrapper" which
attempts to load the binary drivers for Windoze and hook them into the
Linux kernel.  From what I understand, it works well at least some of
the time.

Anyone have a driver for Realtek RTL8185 11g Wireless card?

2005-11-28 Thread Kuni Tetsu
CompUSA was having a sale - 11g wireless card under their brand for $2.99, so I
grabbed one for my "new" Linux laptop. From the docs on the Windoze CD, it
seems to be a RTL8185.

But I cannot find any Linux drivers! There is one sourceforge project that is
"coming soon" and another that claims to work except there is nothing but the
home page - no CVS tree or anything.

Any chance someone might have a driver lying around? Anyone have any
recommendations?
