The rtl818x is a cleaned up and GPLed Linux driver for WLAN adapters based on Realtek's RTL818x series of chipsets. Many OEM's like Belkin, D-Link, Surecom and others sell the (Mini-)PCI, CardBus and, or PCMCIA versions of these cards. After making a few changes to Makefile and, or add a few more Makefiles the modules now build well even under the latest kernel version 2.6.17.x sources :) The above also triggered a few more changes to the driver sources and, or test scripts; that's just for an information.
