There is something similarly frustrating with the latest Fedora 7.
Although the rtl drivers are there in the binary release, they fail to
load.  Downloading the Fedora source for the kernel or the latest kernel
release shows that the source code is not in fact in the release.

Downloading the current sourceforge release for rtl-8180:

http://rtl-wifi.sourceforge.net/wiki/Download

and compiling results in errors with the 2.6.26.[5,9] kernel.  There are
source release on that site in the Support Forum that work.

For the 2.6.26.9 kernel there are some deprecated entry points in the
code that need to be removed.  After updating the modules load and the
DWL-610 works fine.
