According to this thread:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...03/12/1/121487

the TEW-228PI is based on the Realtek RTL8180 chipset. I was told by TrendNet's tech support that it is based on a Realtek chipset and that I should see if Realtek offers any drivers. On Realtek's site there's a Linux driver for the RTL8180. I'll let you know if I get it working. The file name says RH9 and I'm using Fedora Core. In the thread above he was running RH9 and couldn't get the card to work, even with the Realtek driver. So I'm crossing my figers... time to boot back to Fedora...

You can get the Realtek RTL8180 Linux drivers from this page:
