Does This PCMCIA card work with Linux ??

[OldBob]

I have a T21 Thinkpad with Xandros as half of a "dual-boot" setup. I recently bought a wireless card [Realtek RTL8180 LAN cardbus] that "works great !!" with Win98SE.

Before I get too deep into my "Linux problems" can anybody tell me if this card can be made to "work" with Linux ???

open a root shell and type

lspci | grep Network

and that command will pop out something like this

05:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)

ofcourse being your card not mine then take the

05:02.0

and grep for that with this

lspci -n | grep  05:02.0

and that will output something like this

 05:00.0 0200: 10ec:8139 (rev 10)

with this being the pciid of that wireless nic 10ec:8139 take this pciid to google.com/linux and look for a driver for the card
Note: this is my card's info above
