I was using successfully the rtl8180 driver but after last git-pull the network interface (wlan0) is not anymore created.

Fabio,

Does this patch fix it for you?

I was with the same problem using linville branch (to test rtl8187se
support). I thought the wlan0 missing was some problem with the
rtl8187se support.

I apply the patch and now I have an wlan0 interface! -:)
I can't see now if the interface is really working, no AP near
to test. But the wlan0 now is created
