Public bug reported: Hello, There is a bug in the RTL8187B driver in the kernel 2.6.27. My wireless card is Realtek RTL8187B (ID:8197).
I can only get speeds of up to 100kib/s. (I'm on a 8MB/s line and I can easily get 1MB/s with another wireless card). Also with this driver I experienced very short operating range. It seems that the driver always attempts to achieve the highest bit rate even when errors are occurring, which results in awful quality and sometimes all connections will timeout. There is a solution to this problem but not the best. By running this command, it will make the errors "disappear". iwconfig wlan0 rate 5.5M fixed This seems to fix the problem. I made a thread on Ubuntuforums about this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=792092 Thanks, Tom ** Affects: linux-meta (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- RTL8187B Wireless driver issues in Linux-2.6.27 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/311919 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
