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.
