Hi Mike, my english also not from the top of championship mountain ;D oh yes, i have tried yesterday, on winxp sp3. And yes, official drivers WG111v3 Version 1.5.0 from Netgear website, was working. I used windows wireless manager for connecting. And in the same 15m distance signal was good, and no packet loss while pinging to router. So now it is clear, that there is nothing bad with router or usb adapter circuits itself. All thing is with driver or some settings in ubuntu (or kernel).
Than i found out that there was WG111v3 Version 2.0.0 for windows. Tried and this. Wireless application, that was included with driver ver.2 , failed connect to wireless network. It automatically chose WEP encryptions, but the password was not working no with 64bit neither 128 bit passphrase. Result was a message that connection is not working or limited or something like that - in another words: adapter can not obtain information from dhcp and set some default,not working, TCP/IP values . But if i use windows wireless manager then adapter connects to router and obtains dhcp values for TCP/IP. Than i decided to go with ndiswrapper on ubuntu, and test windows drivers. First impression was that it looks promising: driver installed, device recognized...and nothing more. It was not working. Then i tried few other drivers, but result was the same. Result in dmesg was : can not load drivers or something like that. I tried i386 and amd64. no luck. So i think that maybe there is some additional stuff in driver installation for windows, that helps adapter to function correctly. Christopher M. Penalver (penalvch) where do you think is better to opening up the new report or bug (launchpad, bugzilla) and what kernel to use for the report? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/802902 Title: Realtek rtl8187b wireless chipset slow speed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/802902/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
