I've fixed two major bugs in realtek8180.device, which should make it much more reliable on both 32-bit and 64-bit. It should also work with DHCP now, although it can be slow to assign an address.

I've hopefully managed to attach 32-bit and 64-bit binaries below.

@ntromans Thanks for your testing and perseverance with this driver, which prompted me to take another look at it after many years.

I failed to attach both binaries to the initial post, so here's the 64-bit one.

Many thanks! I shall give this a try over the weekend along wiith 64 bit release candidate

Cheers,
Nigel.

P.S. I was finding on 64 bit the previous realtek8180.device could use DHCP on 64 bit; this worked both with my home network and the one at the recent Midlands Amiga Enthusiasts meet (although it took a few restarts to get onto that one). I use the startnet/stopnet/startnet trick.

where is the adapter?

See the RTl8187 list here: https://wiki.debi...ed-rtl8187
Only RTL8187B chips are likely to work.

thanx I had a WG111v3

New driver is now installed (64 bit); looks to be working fine

Cheers,
Nigel.

Does it have to be USB or can wi-fi card like this work?

Hmm, it's possible. The RTL8187B chip is USB-only AFAIK, so maybe these cards look like USB to the system. This page suggests that the chip might be built into some motherboards/laptops:

It may work, but if the driver was written for a USB dongle, I wouldn't know—just need to try.

@nikos Do you plan to get one of those mini-PCIe cards?

I did a bit more research on the RTL8187B mini-PCIe cards. It seems they use the mini-PCIe form factor but route USB signals through the interface rather than PCIe signals. Apparently most laptop mini-PCIe slots don't support USB signals, so these cards won't work on most laptops. They may work on laptops that already have a mini-PCIe wireless card that is seen as a USB device by the system.
