Realtec 811 N USB - Solved !

[dangbert]

i just got this USB wireless card and, while it works like a champ, there is a problem.  The default driver will not activate the card.  However, if I use the Ndiswraper the card works like a champ.  Since I had one other card that I had to used the ndiswrapper on, setting it up was a breeze.  The problem I am having though is that the settings will not hold when I reboot (in my other experience with the ndiswrapper, they did hold).  Is there some simple fix to stop me having to reinstall every time I reboot>

Thanks

You probably have a conflict with the native driver. Have you tried blacklisting the realtek module by adding it to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

Also add ndiswrapper to your /etc/modprobe.preload if its not already there...

Hopefully someone will come along with experience of this realtek wireless card

Cheers,

Once you have the card up and running open a terminal:

su
(enter root password)
ndiswrapper -ma
