After looking for some good directions on how to install my WPC11 on Core 4 I googled (I know, overused buzzword. Sorry. Isn't buzzword a buzzword? ...uh nevermind) across this site:

http://plexinet.com/knowledge/os/index.php?view=full&artID=101

This guy, like me, found all sorts of long explanations and board responses that are too annoying to read especially when those writing are "grammatically challanged" when it comes to the English language. Of course, now that I've said that I'll be hearing about all my grammatical errors as well. And who could forget my use of what Craig, Ryan and Scott refer to as big words. By the way, Craig might be gay. He caught a cold from Brian Schoon over the weekend. They snuggle.

So anyway, I'll be following a similar format for my install as his install to fit what I had to do.

1. Go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/ndiswrapper/ and download the latest source. The file I got was ndiswrapper-1.4.tar.gz.
2. Extract the archive and jump in the folder with a terminal. The INSTALL file referred to http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?Installation for its instructions. This is pretty much where I left the PlexiNet.com site with the exception of the XP driver and bowed to the Wiki gods. Wait thats Tiki gods isn't it. Yeeeah, close enough.
3. In my terminal, I went into the utils directory and typed, make distclean then make then make install as per the instructions
4. Go to http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloads1-3.aspx?Keyword=rtl8180l and download the WindowsXP (yes, windowsXP) driver. I got verison 1.73.
5. Extract the zip file and find it with a terminal. Type ndiswrapper -i /file_location/NET8180.INF
6. Type ndiswrapper -l to list your ndis drivers that are installed. You should get a response similar to the following:
   Installed ndis drivers:
   net8180 driver present, hardware present
7. At the point the instructions tell you to type depmod -a which didn't give me any errors but didn't say anything. Of course that means when I type modprobe ndiswrapper I get an error. uname -r
8. Now frankly I'm stuck. More another time. Grrrr

6. [root@localhost ndiswrapper-0.10]# modprobe ndiswrapper
[root@localhost ndiswrapper-0.10]# iwconfig

9. ndiswrapper -m to set up permanent alias

OR use GUI network config:

7. on the devices tab click new
8. choose type: Wireless
9. choose ndiswrapper(wlan0)
10 set up your base station specifics and say OK.
