This convenient howto made life easy for me on my rh9Laptop. Works
great. Now if I only had an access point... The pre-compiled version
of the driver even worked with my kernel.

I do have one question, though. The card activation script will only
run from the local directory in which i unzipped the driver. I think
it has something to do with how the 'insmod -f' command works. I
doesn't seem to reference the proper location of my driver, even when
I specify it in the script. I can't figure out why. Here is the wlanup
script... I can run it from /usr/local/rtl8180_1.5 , but I cannot seem
to modify the script to point to the real location of the
rtl8180_24x.o driver and work correctly. I believe that this has
something to with the aliases, but I'm not sure. If you know, please
contribute to the discussion.
