I followed the instructions there, they worked the first time I Tried it, but for some reason it won't even bother to detect my card at this point.
DOwnloaded: WIreless_Tools
modprobe rtl8180 (since the wireless drivers were part of the package already)
iwconfig showed this
[*****@myhost ~]$ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
[****@myhost ~]$ iwconfig wlan0
wlan0 No such device
lsmod shows the module in the list (rtl8180)
and here is the last command
[*****@myhost ~]$ lspci | grep .net
00:14.0 Bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP51 Ethernet Controller (rev a3)
06:09.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8185 IEEE 802.11a/b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 20)
It appears to be the right card... or it does to me anyways...
Edit:Wasn't sure if the subject was a good enough name, was probably to vague at first as to what the issue is, so I changed it for the last time
really. >_>
Edit: And yes, it still won't work

Hello SirEdgar2nd!
What's the output of your ifconfig ? What was the change the first working version and the non-working now ? Which kernel do you use ? Is there any related in your dmesg/syslog ?

and there hasn't been any changes from when it worked till when it didn't except I used a core install of a version of Arch from December 2008, but this time I screwed up my system and tried a reinstall (but I did a net install this time), and everything BUT the wireless (and sound, but I could get that to work later, I'm more focused on the wifi at the moment) works.
I've never done an dmesg before but the only things I See that are even close to related to the net are
NET: Registered protocol family 10
lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions
eth0: no IPv6 routers present
And I don't think that has to do with anything. There was more but I am not sure what to look at since the list is so long. o_O;
I never checked the syslog before and don't know how to do that... I'll edit this when I figure that out (unless someone tells me first XD)
Edit (still googling): Or is dmesg another way to check the syslog :/
