I have the same very weak signal isuue on my realtek 8187 too. 
I am using ndiswrapper win 98 driver now and the wireless siganl will be broken 
if distance from the router to the notebook more than 3 metres, making the wlan 
completely useless. 
The native driver came from Ubuntu 8.10 kernel 2.6.27-11 is even worst. 
Connection hangs/lose randomly and adding an extra letter as a suffix to ESSID 
doesn't work. Signal is as weak as using ndiswrapper win 98 driver. 
But in Windows XP it just works great.
The wifi is driving me crazy. I seeked help from ubuntuforums, still cannot 
find a solution. Glad that I find out this bugpage. Wish that all buddies with 
realtek 8187 group together toshare experience and hope that finally can find a 
solution.
