Bugzilla Bug 98057

From the authors site: 
----------------------------------------------------------------- 
*IMPORTANT*:  
Note that since v 0.8 you have to insmod ieee80211_crypt.ko and 
ieee80211_crypt_wep.ko before ieee80211.ko ! 
----------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
You should tell the user this order instead of  
----------------------------------------------------------- 
* If you would like to load this module automatically upon boot 
 * please type the following as root: 
 *     # echo "r8180" >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 
 *     # echo "ieee80211-r8180" >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 
 *     # echo "ieee80211_crypt-r8180" >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 
 *     # echo "ieee80211_crypt_wep-r8180" >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 
-------------------------------------- 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Is the "v0.8"-Notice still true?
Does it work for you if you modprobe in that order?

Anway I would recommend using coldplug for loading modules anyway :)

ans if in autoload, please have only the main modules there, the others will get
pulled in by dependancies.

johnm, can we do anything in the eclass here, or should I just disable the
postinst message?

It doesn't work at all at the moment. I couldn't connect with WEP
and if I connect without encryption there is no ping or something
else possible... I tried to debug this and just saw the hint on the
Website. 

DOes it work when you just load "r8180"?

changing
MODULE_NAMES="r8180(net:) ieee80211-r8180(net:) ieee80211_crypt-r8180(net:)
ieee80211_crypt_wep-r8180(net:)"

to:

MODULE_NAMES="ieee80211_crypt-r8180(net:) ieee80211_crypt_wep-r8180(net:)
r8180(net:) ieee80211-r8180(net:)"

should work fine.

Sounds good. IMHO you could close the bug.
genstef: Don't know, it doesn't work at all. I switched over to ndiswrapper now
and it works good.

fixed, thank you for reporting.
