I also have the same problem with my positivo Z896. It has a RTL8187b and I can only browse if I am close to the AP. Now I am runing Jaunty 9.04 with last updates and also tried ubuntu-backports-modules-jaunty, but the most I got was to browse in the same room. If I change the room I cannot even connect.
I also think that this is a high proirity bug, since a lot of notebooks are shipping with this wireless board... -- realtek RTL8187B wireless card does not work on toshiba satellite A210-15J https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/254438 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
