Hi, ok I'll try to explain. First of all you need to get ndiswrapper working in hardy heron, because it doesn't work out of the box (at least for me). so follow this guide:
http://www.ubuntu1501.com/2008/04/ndiswrapper-in-hardy-heron.html Do not follow step 2 and 3, they are not needed for this card. Instead install ndiswrapper by typing this in a terminal: sudo apt-get install ndisgtk Download the windows driver from here: http://www.majorgeeks.com/Realtek_RTL8187_USB_Wireless_LAN_ME2000XP_d5165.html extract the archive, then go to system-->administration-->windows wireless drivers, and install the win98 driver .inf file that you can find in the directory where you extracted the archive. now blacklist ubuntu's rtl driver: sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist add this line: blacklist rtl8187 then: sudo gedit /etc/modules add this: ndiswrapper then install wicd 1.4.2, you will find the .deb package in the downloads section, reboot and you should be able to connect. remember to go into wicd preferences and set the wpa supplicant driver to wext (and NOT ndiwrapper) and the correct name of your wireless interface (mine is wlan0, you can type iwconfig in a terminal to check it out). If you have trouble, just tell me, there's some additional things you can do the prevent ubuntu's driver from being loaded, but maybe you just won't need it. -- rtl8187 drops connection https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/182473 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
