    RTL8180L on 2.6.24.16 - unable to connect

    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:

    eth0 no wireless extensions.

    My /etc/network/interfaces file:
    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback
    auto eth1
    iface eth1 inet dhcp

    #address 192.168.1.100
    #netmask 255.255.255.0
    #gateway 192.168.2.1

    "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.

    Please attach the output of:

    Code:
    sudo lspci -vv
    Showing ALL network adapters
    Note: This will never work:
    #address 192.168.1.100
    #netmask 255.255.255.0
    #gateway 192.168.2.1

    Re: RTL8180L on 2.6.24.16 - unable to connect

    I made some changes in the system, but the problem still remains:
    1) I disabled the onboard card in the BIOS.
    2) Then I copied the address of my wireless one from Windows.
    Put it in the 70-persistent-net.rules
    3) Removed eth0 from the blacklist (as now it is really supposed to be my wireless card)
    4) Uncommented the gateway (set it to be my router's IP) and the netmask

    sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules:
    # This file maintains persistent names for network interfaces.
    # See udev(7) for syntax.
    #
    # Entries are automatically added by the 75-persistent-net-generator.rules
    # file; however you are also free to add your own entries.
