Gene, There is no such driver in the kernel at this time. There is an out-of-kernel driver available here: http://rtl8180-sa2400.sourceforge.net/ YMMV. FWIW, I know of at least one person working on a driver for the d80211-based stack in wireless-dev. I'm not sure when that will be available publicly. Hth! John -- John W.
