On a Toshiba Satellite laptop.

The following details may help(?):

First, I downloaded the Realtek driver, as suggested, from
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloads1-3.aspx?Keyword=rtl8180
(I did this under winblos, and parked it on my USB drive in "/LinksysWlan";
downloaded the Windows XP driver (1.75)  arbitrarily)

Then I booted up DSL 0.9.1
Mount sda1 (my USB drive)
Bring up the DSLpanel
[ndiswrapper]
 inf file: /mnt/sda1/LinksysWlan/net8180.inf
 device: wlan0
 ssid: <the ssid of my router>
 wep: <the WEP passcode for my router>
 OK
[wlanconfig]
 ESSID: <set to same ssid as for ndiswrapper>
 just hit <enter> for the rest of the queries
[netcardconfig]
 DHCP = yes.
 comes back with "OK"

Now I can bring up browser, etc.
Only thing I haven't gotten running that I've tried so far
is wavemon (which complains "fatal error: could not get
range information" ) - linksys/driver hole?

cheers.
OH
