I feared so. ElRepo does not have it, nor any other repository.

But there is Realtek's source you can compile:
http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=1&PFid=1&Level=6&Conn=5&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true#RTL8185L

Also look at http://rtl8180-sa2400.sourceforge.net/

You can also ask ElRepo developers that they build an kmod-package from 
that source.
