you can try one last thing to prevent the rtl8187 ubuntu driver from being loaded
sudo nautilus then go to /lib/modules/yourkernelversion/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtl8187 and move rtl8187.ko and r8187.ko to another place (your home directory is ok). If you can't find those files, check also the wireless directory just before the rtl8187 directory, which you may not find. Also, you may also find only one of these two files, do not worry, it's ok. then run rmmod rtl8187 rmmod r8187 ignore eventual warnings then: sudo modprobe ndiswrapper then: sudo depmod -ae after that, try to connect with wicd. If it doesn't work, reboot and try again, maybe issuing sudo modprobe ndiswrapper before connecting. @McWatt to have wicd started after boot go to system-->preferences-->sessions and add this command: /opt/wicd/tray.py if you don't have wired connection and wireless connection, you should check wicd preferences and see if you put the right interfaces there. mine are eth0 for wired and wlan0 for wireless, but yours may be different. check them before installing wicd running iwconfig -- 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 ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
