Confirmed here as well. This is a well known issue that does not yet seem to have a proper resolution. Others who follow this bug should keep digging up information and sources for good info and potential drivers.
#Ubuntu-Kernel on Freenode IRC network I have spoken with some of the Kernel team there. The over all explanation is that they are over loaded with more dominating bugs for the next release of Ubuntu. (Karmic 9.10) We need to locate and get more users involved in this to really show its true importance to the linux community. This bug affects all linux distributions not just Ubuntu the scope of this issue is wide and other distributions may very well contribute to the further development of this chip support. If you use other distributions report the bug to them as well appropriately. The more we talk about it the sooner we will be heard. That said, work is still in progress. This bug has not gone completely ignored. Albeit 3 releases are up and still not fixed. I have found a potential lead on drivers and if confirmed will be working to pass them along and pushing for them to be added into Lucid Lynx 10.04 LTS as Karmic is in a near frozen state for release. If the drivers are obtained and can be implemented by the end user in other releases then I will try to make them available here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/RealtekRTL8187b -- realtek RTL8187B wireless card does not work on toshiba satellite A210-15J https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/254438 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
