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.
