Bundled WiFi Module ??

[klaus2008]

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!
