So because of this problem, I decided to use Aircrack driver again. But it is not so easy as I thought, there are compilation problems with 2.6.27-7 kernel (and maybe all 2.6.27 based kernels)
You have to do following (most of the steps are based on my previous post https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/182473/comments/65 ) This is the same as in my previous post: wget http://dl.aircrack-ng.org/drivers/rtl8187_linux_26.1010.zip unzip rtl8187_linux_26.1010.zip cd rtl8187_linux_26.1010.0622.2006/ First change - get new patch: wget http://patches.aircrack-ng.org/rtl8187_2.6.27.patch tar xzf drv.tar.gz tar xzf stack.tar.gz Second change - apply the new patch: patch -Np1 -i rtl8187_2.6.27.patch But still the patch is not correct, it complains by compilation - "asm/semaphore.h: No such file or directory" So you have to edit the r8187.h nano ./beta-8187/r8187.h and find the line #include <asm/semaphore.h> and change it to #include <linux/semaphore.h> Save the file, and then continue the same way as in my previous post: Then I put rtl8187 to the blacklist - as root Edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and add “blacklist rtl8187” as a new line Then remove the present driver sudo ifconfig wlan0 down sudo rmmod rtl8187 And then as root make make install that is all, after reboot, enjoy working wireless network with the new kernel. But I hope that the official driver will be fixed soon. -- rtl8187 drops connection https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/182473 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
