How to install Realtek RTL8180 Drivers


Hey everyone,

not too long ago, I posted a thread regarding ndiswrapper for the RTL8180 chipset. By heading over the the Realtek website, I saw they have a kernel 2.6.x drivers.

So I downloaded it, and extracted it.

I did the make command, and it gave me this:

Code:
[root@localhost rtl8180]# make
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.16-1.2111_FC5/build SUBDIRS=/root/Desktop/rtl8180 MODVERDIR=/root/Desktop/rtl8180 modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.16-1.2111_FC5-x86_64'
  CC [M]  /root/Desktop/rtl8180/r8180_pci_init.o
/root/Desktop/rtl8180/r8180_pci_init.c: In function ‘rtl8180_pci_probe’:
/root/Desktop/rtl8180/r8180_pci_init.c:146: error: ‘struct pci_dev’ has no member n amed ‘slot_name’
/root/Desktop/rtl8180/r8180_pci_init.c:150: error: ‘struct pci_dev’ has no member n amed ‘slot_name’
make[2]: *** [/root/Desktop/rtl8180/r8180_pci_init.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [_module_/root/Desktop/rtl8180] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.16-1.2111_FC5-x86_64'
make: *** [modules] Error 2
By doing some searching, I found that this error was due to the "if" script in the r8180_pci_init.c file.
Here's what I did to fix it:

Original code:
Code:
	//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
	// PCI resources: including PCI configuration space and IRQ number.
	//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#ifdef RTL_IO_MAP

	pio_start = (unsigned long)pci_resource_start (pdev, 0);
	pio_len = (unsigned long)pci_resource_len (pdev, 0);
	pio_flags = (unsigned long)pci_resource_flags (pdev, 0);

	if (!(pio_flags & IORESOURCE_IO)) {
		DPRINTK_OUTINFO("%s: region #0 not a PIO resource, aborting\n", pdev->slot_name);
		goto fail;
	}
	else{
		DPRINTK_OUTINFO("%s: region #0 IS a PIO resource!\n", pdev->slot_name);
	}

	DPRINTK_OUTINFO("request_region(0x%08lx,0x%08lx) !\n", pio_start,pio_len );
	if( ! request_region( pio_start, pio_len, rtl8180_driver_name ) ){
		DPRINTK_OUTINFO("request_region failed!\n");
		goto fail;
	}

	ioaddr = pio_start;
	dev->base_addr = ioaddr; // device I/O address

#else
	pmem_start = pci_resource_start(pdev, 1);
	pmem_len = pci_resource_len(pdev, 1);
	pmem_flags = pci_resource_flags (pdev, 1);

	if (!(pmem_flags & IORESOURCE_MEM)) {
		DPRINTK_OUTINFO("%s: region #1 not a MMIO resource, aborting\n", pdev->slot_name);
		goto fail;
	}
	else{
		DPRINTK_OUTINFO("%s: region #0 IS a MMIO resource!\n", pdev->slot_name);
	}

	DPRINTK_OUTINFO("request_mem_region(0x%08lx,0x%08lx) !\n", pmem_start,pmem_len );
	if( ! request_mem_region( pmem_start, pmem_len, rtl8180_driver_name ) ) {
		DPRINTK_OUTINFO("request_mem_region failed!\n");
		goto fail;
	}
Mine:

Code:
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
	// PCI resources: including PCI configuration space and IRQ number.
	//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#ifdef RTL_IO_MAP

	pio_start = (unsigned long)pci_resource_start (pdev, 0);
	pio_len = (unsigned long)pci_resource_len (pdev, 0);
	pio_flags = (unsigned long)pci_resource_flags (pdev, 0);

	//if (!(pio_flags & IORESOURCE_IO)) {
		//DPRINTK_OUTINFO("%s: region #0 not a PIO resource, aborting\n", pdev->slot_name);
		//goto fail;
	//}
	//else{
		//DPRINTK_OUTINFO("%s: region #0 IS a PIO resource!\n", pdev->slot_name);
	//}

	DPRINTK_OUTINFO("request_region(0x%08lx,0x%08lx) !\n", pio_start,pio_len );
	if( ! request_region( pio_start, pio_len, rtl8180_driver_name ) ){
		DPRINTK_OUTINFO("request_region failed!\n");
		goto fail;
	}

	ioaddr = pio_start;
	dev->base_addr = ioaddr; // device I/O address

#else
	pmem_start = pci_resource_start(pdev, 1);
	pmem_len = pci_resource_len(pdev, 1);
	pmem_flags = pci_resource_flags (pdev, 1);

	//if (!(pmem_flags & IORESOURCE_MEM)) {
		//DPRINTK_OUTINFO("%s: region #1 not a MMIO resource, aborting\n", pdev->slot_name);
		//goto fail;
	//}
	//else{
		//DPRINTK_OUTINFO("%s: region #0 IS a MMIO resource!\n", pdev->slot_name);
	//}

	DPRINTK_OUTINFO("request_mem_region(0x%08lx,0x%08lx) !\n", pmem_start,pmem_len );
	if( ! request_mem_region( pmem_start, pmem_len, rtl8180_driver_name ) ) {
		DPRINTK_OUTINFO("request_mem_region failed!\n");
		goto fail;
	}
What I did is disable the if scripts.
Now when I do "make", here's what I get:

Code:
[root@localhost rtl8180]# make
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.16-1.2111_FC5/build SUBDIRS=/root/Desktop/rtl8180 MODVERDIR=/root/Desktop/rtl8180 modules

My question is this :
What do all these warnings mean?

Please help me, I'm fairly new at linux, and worst of all at the 64-bit architecture. Any help will be grealtly appreciated, the only reason I use Wshits XP is because my wireless card works there.

These say several symbols are missing.

Try

http://rtl8180-sa2400.sourceforge.net/
or
http://www.fsf.org/resources/hw/net/wireless/cards.html

I had some trouble with RealTek dirver, but serialmonkey one works fine.

Ok, I have installed the opensource drivers from the first link you gave me.

Now, how do I set them to be used with my card?

You probably need to load the module. Try running "modprobe rtl8180-sa2400" as root.

If you are still in trouble, check following
dmesg, lspci, and syslog (/var/log/message or something like this)
