I am in the same situation:
Like Jim, my Linksys WPC11 v4 does not seem to be recognized in
/var/log/syslog and like Steffen,
it shows up in lspci as Realtek 8180 Rev. 20 

What is supposed to happen automatically in a perfect 2.6.12 world and
what do I have to set up myself?
had I somewhat managed to figure out what to do in 2.4 but I am confused
with my switch to 2.6.12 as to what documentation I should consult:
apparently, not cardmgr, but hotplug (which was desintalled by udev)
or udev?

Thanks in advance.
