I recently decided to go wireless at home. I bought a Dlink dwl-520 thinking it was a prisim2 chipset. Well it turned out that when I got it it is not a prisim2 but rather a realtek.
No problem they seem to have drivers. http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloads1-3.aspx?software=True&compamod el=RTL8180L#2002121Unix%20(Linux) So after looking at the drivers and playing with the Makefile for a bit I get them to compile well. Insmod well and the driver shows up when I do lsmod. I then did this. ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig wlan0 up route add default gateway 192.168.1.1 ifconfig shows wlan0 as up and all looks well. When I attempt to ping 192.168.1.1 I get no response and after playing with it for some time I notice that everytime I try to ping out the wlan0 that the loopback interface's tx and rx are incrementing. I have confirmed that there is a route for 192.168.1.0 using wlan0 as it's interface and when I down wlan0 I get hardware errors when trying to ping 192.168.1.1 just like I would expect with a wired card. I'm at wits end and have read everything I can find and none of it seems to be working. Also just as a another datum pump -i wlan0 fails also.
