I also have a have a netbook (it's a CW001 from FIC -
http://www.fic.com.tw/product/cw001.aspx) with the Realtek's 8187SE
card, with the same problems reported by Wilford. The thing is that I
could run 9.04 with a patch (attached source code and compiled kernel)
that I got from the vendor and the following instructions:
1. Modify kernel config file:
$> sudo dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.28-11-generic_2.6.28-11.42_i386.deb
This instruction modifies /boot/grub/menu.lst which you need to change later.
2. Modify /etc/modules:
Add line “pciehp pciehp_force=1” and line "rfkill_input" at end of file.
3. Modify /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
Add “blacklist rtl8187se” at end of file
4. Install wifi modules from source code:
In source directory:
$> make
$> sudo make install
5. Add acpi_osi parameter in file /boot/grub/menu.lst:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-generic
root=UUID=e35bc47f-035e-46c9-9bd8-b4ac5c632d02 ro acpi_osi=Linux quiet splash
6. Reboot:
$> sudo reboot
It looks like it is possible to install this patch in a ubuntu machine
with kernel previous to 2.6.30. I tried with kernel 2.6.31 but got a lot
of compilation errors. So there were some important changes in the
current kernel version used by karmic. I’ll keep on trying but a piece
of advice and technical information about the changes needed would be of
help.
