I have an Aopen 701k wireless net card (Based on the Realtek 8180 IC).

I am running Mandrake 10.0 with the 2.6.3 kernel.

I've downloaded the drivers from realtek's webpage (for both RH 7 and 9).

Followed the directions insmod -f driver
insmod spits out an error saying that the module is not compatible.

Allright, no problem, lets recompile it for my kernel. (I have the kernel src installed). Modified the makefile to point to my kernel sources, and try to run make.

gcc spits out a hole bunch of errors about re-casting breaking strict aliases, as well as undeclared variables, etc.

Any ideas as to what may be causing this?


Cheers,

Mr. Pain
