Wireless fun

If you haven't heard of this, Linuxant Driverloader is bloody great! It actually takes windows wireless NIC drivers and converts them to something Linux can understand. The only downside is it's not free. You get a 30 day trial, and then have to cough up $20. So far, this is the only thing that let me use my Trendnet Trendware TEW-226PC wireless card. I'm going to dig around for the next 30 days to see if I can actually find a real driver for this beast, but if I don't - Linuxant is so cool in concept that I almost don't mind paying for it. Almost. Speaking of - if anyone knows of any drivers that'll actually compile for a RealTek 8180 chipset 802.11B wireless card, I'd really appreciate it. So far, everything I got from both Trendware and RealTek itself has failed to compile.
