The drivers from Realtek worked fine for me on 2.6X kernels both in
Core 2 & Core 3 test 1.
The install notes that come with the ndiswrapper source were most
helpful. If memory serves doing make rpm creates both the ndiwrapper &
kernel module rpms.
You'll have to build a new kernel module each time you upgrade your
kernel, which is part of the reason I reverted to the v. 3 card.
