I am running Ubuntu 8.04, Linux 2.6.24.16. Am not able to connect to the internet.
I have an onboard card RTL-8169, unused, and a wireless card which I want to use, RTL8180L. Looks like my wireless card is not recognized.
I installed the ndiswrapper driver installation tool, and copied the driver (NETR8180.inf) from my windows. Tried to install it - says "Invalid driver".
Later on I had thought that maybe I just need to disable the onboard card, since it interfers.
The output of sudo lshw -C network:

"blacklist eth0 " is in the blacklist file.
I understand that in the next release this card would be recognized easily.
What do I need to do in order to fix it now?
Thanks for any advice.
