this driver works, but the signal strengh is shown as not very stable.
so i downloaded the proprietary [http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/| driver.]
what i got was:
<pre>
rtl8185_linux_26.1031.1207.2009.release.tar.gz
</pre>
after unpacking and entering the directory i had to type a "make" and a "make install" to install the new kernel module:
<pre>
/lib/modules/2.6.26-2-686/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/r8185b.ko
</pre>
now i had to make sure, that the correct kernel-module is loaded by boot-time.
so i put r8185b into /etc/modules
and to prevent the wrong kernel module to be loaded i hat to wipe out the line
<pre>
[...]
/lib/modules/2.6.26-2-686/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtl8180.ko
[...]

in the file

lspci shows

driver isssues
first, my debian lenny (02/2010) loads the kernel module called 8180.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.26-2-686/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtl8180.ko
this driver works, but the signal strengh is shown as not very stable. so i downloaded the proprietary driver.
what i got was:
rtl8185_linux_26.1031.1207.2009.release.tar.gz
after unpacking and entering the directory i had to type a "make" and a "make install" to install the new kernel module:
/lib/modules/2.6.26-2-686/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/r8185b.ko
now i had to make sure, that the correct kernel-module is loaded by boot-time.
so i put r8185b into /etc/modules
and to prevent the wrong kernel module to be loaded i hat to wipe out the line
[...] /lib/modules/2.6.26-2-686/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtl8180.ko [...]
in the file
/lib/modules/2.6.26-2-686/modules.dep
