I don't know enough about the Realtek devices to make intellegent suggestions on how to fix this particular problem. Clearly the 2 drivers share a lot of common code so perhaps they can be merged? I assumed that the RTL8180, is still somewhat WiP based on the commit message for a2645795713c4374ff2efda960251cdc30b63430 (wireless-2.6.git). Appologies for the uber long CC line, wasn't sure who can be pruned. From: Tony Breeds <tony@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Temporarily ensure that Realtek 8185 and 8187 aren't compiled together. These two drivers share a number of common (global) functions. While RTL8180 is still being worked on ensure that it's not built together with the RTL8187 (ie allyseconfig).
