lspci and lsmod showing which drive i have
kernel is 2.6.20-16-386
card is pcmcia based and works 90% for me
i had an oops at one point several weeks ago(several in a row) but the system stayed up and i dont think i have a copy of the msg anymore

the card also has these errors every now and then(seems random)
[2852846.592000] rtl8180: WW:Phy writing 10 b3 failed!
[2853475.584000] rtl8180: WW:Phy writing 10 b3 failed!
[2854306.700000] rtl8180: WW:Phy writing 3 20 failed!
the instant that error shows up from the printk the link led on the card goes out and i loose the connection, 2-4 seconds later it comes back up and works like nothing happened
i also had to unblacklist the module for the card to even work(after upgrading to 7.04)

its not a major problem but the dropouts are anoying in ssh sessions and other streaming things
ive got a copy of the kernel source(and what looks like this modules source) and will look into it and see what i can do
