rtl-wifi driver snapshot release This package provides support to Realtek Wifi cards based on rtl8187 or rtl8180 chipsets. It will compile and install the following modules: ieee80211_crypt-rtl ieee80211_crypt_wep-rtl ieee80211_crypt_tkip-rtl ieee80211_crypt_ccmp-rtl ieee80211-rtl r8187 r8180 The rtl-wifi installation instructions indicate that you must remove the stock kernel's ieee80211 and possibly mac80211 modules prior to installing this package. While this is not something we prefer to do, if you need this package, you might feel differently. The instructions suggest the following: rm -rf /lib/modules//kernel/net/ieee80211 rm -rf /lib/modules//kernel/net/mac80211 We recommend that you move these two directories elsewhere instead so that you can easily restore them in the event that you no longer need the rtl-wifi package. Be sure to run "depmod -a" after adding or removing kernel modules. For more information, see http://rtl-wifi.sourceforge.net/wiki/Installing
