Well, I finally had some success with the WPC11 v4. After some seriously annoying issues with that HORRIBLY written Realtek driver, I can post my methods, so I hope this helps someone .

First off, I'm running Suse 8.1, which Realtek does not provide a driver for natively. The only driver that ended up working for me was the Red Hat 8.0 driver zip file. When compiled, the driver would not work at all. It would either get stuck on initialization, or lock up my computer. If this happens to you, try changing the optimization in the Makefile from -O6 to -O.

Now, try inserting the new module ('insmod rtl8180_24x.o'). Run 'lsmod'. The driver should be listed at the top. If 'unused' is above it, so far so good. If it lists 'Initializing' then you're stuck and will have to reboot.

Now, run the following to get the card enabled:
iwpriv wlan0 enable
iwpriv wlan0 wlan_para networktype=infra
iwpriv wlan0 wlan_para wepmode=off

These commands will have to be run as root. Hopefully you bought that Linksys wireless kit, so you can just run 'dhclient wlan0' or 'dhcpcd wlan0' and get your IP settings and such. If not, you'l have to you ifconfig to set it up.

Anyways, thanks to Finegan and the rest of the bunch who posted about this card before. Without them, I'd still be trying to get this damn thing to work.

Notes: The Realtek driver seems to be very poorly written. Putting the computer into standby with the driver still active either keeps the computer out of standby, locks it up when you resume, blocks the keyboard, etc. etc. My advice: remove the driver as soon as you are done with it. I'm not sure how it acts if you load the driver, then unload, then load again...Also, I wouldn't put the module into the /lib/modules directory for autoloading. Every time I did that, I guess modprobe caused the driver to lock. Don't ask me why...So, it looks like it's manual for now until Realtek lays off the weed and writes a real driver.
