Now I see :
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8180L 802.11b 
MAC (rev 20)
        Subsystem: Netgear: Unknown device 4700

Stepping- SERR- FastB2B-
        Status: Cap+ 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- 
<TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR-
        Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 19
        Region 0: I/O ports at 4400 [disabled] [size=256]

                Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME-

Now the driver.
Thanks Daniel.
