> ciao! Aneurin: Try to get the source code of the mac80211 version of the realtek-8187 driver from sourceforge: http://rtl-wifi.sourceforge.net/wiki/Mac80211. On my Neo Empriva 540SVB, only this source code compiles cleanly and works under Debian (but not under Fedora). I think this might work under Ubuntu, which is, after all, a Debian derivative. Good luck.
