i'm trying to get my wifi card working on my old toshiba laptop. so i follow the instructions in wiki:
lspci | grep -i net
02:01.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)
i looked for a proper driver and found that one:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=3631
downloaded it, unpacked it, performed:
makepkg -cs
==> Making package: rtl8180 0.22_pre20070726-1 (Thu Jul 1 22:51:23 MSD 2010)

therefore i got three questions: im i trying to use an appropriate driver? whats wrong with the server? is there other place i could install it from?

According to this website:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions … rs-433723/
and Realtek's own website, RTL-8139 is an ethernet adapter, rather than a wireless one. Are you sure you got the right device in lspci? Post the whole output from lspci here, and maybe dmesg as well. It could be linux isn't detecting your wifi card at all. Are you sure the wireless card in it still works?

+1
The RTL8139 is an ethernet device. Posting the full output of lspci should help us see which wifi card you have.

i posted the whole lspci response. wifi used to work fine with crunchbang installed.
there is however on/off switcher and fn+F8 key, though they do not effect the lspci output at all
maybe there are other ways to find out what card is inside (omitting the disassembling option)?
and what do i do if my card is not detected?

Post lspci without the grep part. It may not have the work "net" in it.
You could always take out the card and google the model number.

im not too good with hardware - cant tell whether it has detected my card or not.
if not i guess ill have to take it out and see for my self.

it looks there's no wireless chip there, are you sure the hard switch is in the right position? does there light up a led anywhere normally when it's enabled?
look up the specs of your specific toshiba model online, find out which wireless chip it has.

i did a bit of research and it looks like my toshiba satellite P25-S487 is using E5D7\1 wireless card (so old it does not support wpa).
the hard switch is in the right position and the light does goes on/off just as it should... i do not think the problem is with the hardware

Looks like you have one of these:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless#orinoco
'modprobe orinoco_cs' and see if anything fun happens in dmesg/iwconfig

followed the wiki instruction with no result
but after modprobe orinoco_cs i get the following:
iwconfig

looks like some progress here.. but what do i do next?
