some news:
i've downloaded RTL879XU_USB from realtek site, downloaded linux source from https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUIL ... aspberrypi
(it won't compile, another post opened but i've the source! edit: tryng: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3058)

now this driver won't copile using install.sh, so i manually navigated into driver folder and run

make ARCH=arm KSRC=pathToDownloadedGitSource

and here is the compilation(and error) log:

found the solution: add
#include <linux/interrupt.h>
into drv_types.h and all other "erroring" file (about 3)

then just do a
# make ARCH=arm
and
# make install

now i got my sytecom working with wicd.

many tanks to: myself :mrgreen: (i just get it working, i'm a little excited :D )
