I have the feeling that something is broken at a lower level.
I will try adding the ESSID to wireless-settings.conf
What does
lsmod |grep 8185 return??
Nothing.
lsmod |grep 8180 shows modules rtl8180, mac80211, eeprom_93cx6, and
cfg80211 loaded.
OK, the module is not loaded.
Now do
modprobe rtl8185 and repeat the lsmod check.
If lsmod still shows nothing it means the module isn't loading,no
matter what ndiswrapper said. You may have to go to the realtek site
to get the linux drivers and compile them yourself. This may not be
the end of your troubles. I don't know, but doubt, there are any
firmware modules for the 8185 included in the firmware-realtek
package as there is no driver in the current kernel. Check the
realtek site for firmware while you are there.
I started with instructions to install the correct driver with
ndiswrapper
I had the impression that the rtl8180 driver would work.
I'll try the ndiswrapper install of the driver again.
ndiswrapper says net8185 is already installed.
http://wiki.debian.org/rtl818x suggests that rtl8180 is the module for
rtl8185
Ok. Is this a USB dongle or a card?
A card.
if the (dongle or card) was installed when you booted the box then do
dmesg |grep -A3 -B3 8180 and report back what it shows
