I don't have imediate access to the laptop I set up.  I should be able to send you a copy in a couple days.

Better yet, why not submit an extension to the repositories so everyone can benefit from having access to the driver?

I'll be happy to help you package it if you need help.

There's an excellent tutorial in the dsl-wiki on basic extension making, that should get you started. You're probably looking at the easier to make .tar.gz style extensions, as opposed to the .uci ones.

Beyond the making menu items and such, which is covered by the tutorial, you pretty much just need to drop the modules in a directory (/opt/rtl8180 for example) and then have your mydsl.menu item insmod the modules directly as root. From there, any reasonably savvy user should be able to use iwconfig to get it going.

I did a similar "kernel module as an extension" for shfs and submitted it to the repository, feel free to download it and use it as an example.

If you get stuck, im/email/pm me and we'll see if we can't work it out.
