I noticed there was a 'linux' section under Downloads -- maybe there's something there you can use.

I downloaded the Linux drivers
it has everything you need.
sudo lshw -C network
It will return information about your card types. You should see one listed with Wireless LAN controller in the list. That will tell you the type and then you can check specifically for which driver you need.
Also, with Ubuntu if you go to "System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers" you can check for and install proprietary drivers...Ubuntu will handle all of that if it has the correct driver in the repository.
If you want to use your Windows driver you can. Check the Ndiswrapper doc/howto in the Ubuntu community pages:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
Hope that helps!

what 's wrong how i can do it ?:huh:
You may not be running the commands from root..
[email protected]:~/ < root?
to mount/umount a kernel module -- you need root.
1. Unpack source code of WPA supplicant:
tar -zxvf wpa_supplicant-0.3.8.tar.gz
cd wpa_supplicant-0.3.8
2. Create .config file:
cp defconfig .config
3. Edit .config file, uncomment the following line:
#CONFIG_DRIVER_IPW=y.
4. Build WPA supplicant:
make
-- you said you wanted to make it an 'access point' ?
you need to cd /usr/src/linux-2.x.x.x
ls -la | grep .config
if that's a good config
cp .config ../
make mrproper && make distclean
cp ../.config $PWD
make oldconfig && make menuconfig
-> Device Drivers -> Network Device Support ->
look around.. you May find your driver or generic support : )
'Wireless LAN support'.. might be worth doing this

If anyone has any luck finding a driver that works with this, please let me know, I'd be happy to try it out.
sudo apt-get install ndisgtk
and i find driver windows .inf for Realtek RTL8187 at first time
i think it's PCI type but i wrong. i find on web
http://rtl8180-sa2400.sourceforge.net/ it's tell spec is USB.
and i find driver from web
http://www.nodevice.com/driver/company/RealTek.html
then i add driver from windows wireless driver it's can use
in ad-hoc mode but it not have access point mode for choose .
i think it's ok . even through it's not good same use program on
windows i hope next time Linux can use all program from windows
thank you .;)
