Thomas, that driver not only doesn't work on my ordinary RTL8187, but it has prevented the original kernel driver from working too. It will happily attach to the RTL8187 and find networks, but keeps giving this error repeatedly when trying to connect:
[ 534.720351] rtl8187: ISLeave(): Turn on RF. [ 534.720354] SetRFPowerState8185(): unknown RFChipID: 0x5!!!

It disturbs me that you're installing this driver on any systems that are going to your customers; look at the readme file: ------- Copyright(c) Andrea Merello - 2004,2005 It's in early development stage so don't expect too much from it (also use it at your own risk!) This should be considered just a fragment of code.. using it on your(any) system is at your own risk! Please note that I never supported the idea to use it in any way, so i cannot be considered responsible in any way for anything deriving by it usage. ------- -- realtek rtl8187 weak signal, occasional slow performance https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/293946 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
