Comment 21 for bug 395403

That might definately be possible, the PC is an old Dell optiplex gx270 which only has 1 pci slot, I did disable the com and lpt ports in order to be sure enough IRQs where available.
My neighbour is running 9.04 with exactly the same car (same card/chipset/etc) and for him it worked out of the box with the 8180 driver, I didn't even get it to work using ndiswrapper (mp:64 resetting wlan0 or something very similar grinding the system down completely(Xorg+ttys) so I swapped out the card for a better one with the rt61 chipset, this one did work out of the box.
