I have Realtek 8180L mini Pci wlan card.
I am running linux 2.4.25 and I compiled driverloader myself.
Driverloader worked fine after some trying, but the computer
crashes within a couple of seconds and 15 minutes when I start
doing some web browsing by HTTP trough it.
Computer cashes and flshes CAPS lock and
Scroll lock leds, num lock led being off.
--------------------------------
I also have a NAT firewall and use the wlan card in ad hoc mode, since
windows driver does not support access point.
I have tried also the RealTek Binary driver, but it did not work.
I downloaded newest XP drivers from realtek web site.
Is there a problem with shared interrups with driverloader?

( I have 4 hard disks and one DVD rom, scsi is needed by the scanner,
so no devices are put in just for the fun of it. )

--------------------------------------------------------------
My windoes is more or less broken so I cannot test if there
is a problem with the card.
Is there some other kernel version or driver version to try?
