Subject: Full specifications available for RealTek 8180 wireless chipset
Date: Thu, 16 Oct 2003 10:56:03 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <16270.23843.175822.920013@gargle.gargle.HOWL> (raw)

Having experienced a large set of delusions using the closed source
drivers for the  RealTek 8180 wireless chipset available on
RealTek web site on a stock kernel 2.4.20, that do confirm the
posting of fedor@karpelevitch.net on September 11 2003 about
kernel freeze with stock 2.4.22, I politely complained with
RealTek, suggesting they open the code or release the chipset
specifications to the community.

I received today the full chipset specifications, that I uploaded
to http://www.dicosmo.org/RTL8180spec_1_3.pdf

I hope this may help, if somebody is willing to undertake writing
a real, full fledged, Linux-quality driver for this chipset.

Sorry for not being able to do this myself.

Yours
