Bundled WiFi Module ??

Re: Knoppix 7.0.3 CD
Knoppix 5.1.1 CD

Hi,

Sourceforge appears to have a linux driver for the RTL 8185L chipset for:

54M
Wireless G
PCI Adapter

link

Driver A:

link2

Driver B:

link3

Q1: How can one verify that an RTL 8185L driver got bundled w/referenced knoppix versions?

Q2: Since knoppix did not detect/install a driver for the adapter, what's the correct indexing for a sourceforge install?

Regards,
luther

Hi,

Driver B did NOT compile:

Q: What's the root cause?

Hi,

I think the drivers you found are too old to work with current Linux kernels.

The page rtl818x in the Debian wiki says the 8185L by Realtek should be supported by the kernel module rtl8180. What is the PCI id of your wireless network card?

lspci

Q1: Is kernel module rtl8180 bundled w/knoppix 7.0.3.LiveCD?

Q2: How does this package become functional, if it is?

THX!

Why do you look for a dead project?
As of October 12th 2011, the service and website appears to be offline and no longer functional. No warning or feedback was given by the developer.

I was Looking for it because i once experience "Captive Portal " and i thought it was amazing i Google router with special login pages because thats what i thought it was at the time and got only special router could do that but if the login page could be fully edited then i would use some source code to upload live video feed from a camera and shoot it back to the TV station via long range wifi frequency if ever that could have work but im out of working for the T.V company for now and im just a Tech trying to better my craft .
