Hello
I use my Realtek RTL8185 wireless network card with Slackware 14.2 with no problem.
However, I would like to migrate to Slackware15, but the System freezes every time I try to use the network. I need to physically disconnect the network card if I want the System to work again...
Could someone explain to me if this card will work in Slackware15?
I believe that I and a multitude of users were not able to migrate precisely for this reason...
After all, there are more current boards but the charm of Slackware has always been to deliver the best that works on old machines too!
I am immensely grateful for any guidance.
Thanks!
And sorry for my English translation... I speak Portuguese and don't speak the British language.

Have you tried a different kernel to see if it works?
May be worth a shot, grab a newer kernel + modules (from -current) and install them (use installpkg).
