[gentoo-user] problems with rtl8187
Hi there! Yesterday I updated my kernel to 2.6.27-gentoo-r8 and wanted to give the rtl8187-module a try. I am using an Alpha-Network WLAN-USB-Adapter with the Realtek 8187-chipset. The problem is following: After loading the module and configuring the interface, everything works fine for about 10 seconds, and then the connections breaks up. /var/log/messages doesn't show anything. I have to reload the module and re-configure the interface to have it work for another 10 seconds. I blacklisted rtl8187 and installed the r8187-driver-module from http://dl.aircrack-ng.org/drivers/. This works fine, but I don't know why the kernel-driver does not work as it should. Any ideas? -- Dominic Kexel nexe...@evil-monkey-in-my-closet.com

I used the rtl8187 driver of the kernel supported and compiling it as a module. It's working stable with aircrack-ng both monitoring and managing.
