cant get a rtl8180 wireless card working

I have a D-Link DWL-510 pcmcia wireless card that uses rtl8180 driver. By now i got it working using ndiswrapper + windows drivers (with some changes). Its ok for simple connections, but if i try to connect to WPA network it fails.

heres the output in /var/log/messages:

I tried to build/use the rtl-wifi-svn and rtl8180 packages from AUR but none of them worked.

Does anybody knows how can i fix it?
