I have to confirm the message above. After installing the driver from mentioned aircrack-ng link and followed the manual. But little bit different, because the wireless connection is the only internet connection I have.
So first I did: wget http://dl.aircrack-ng.org/drivers/rtl8187_linux_26.1010.zip unzip rtl8187_linux_26.1010.zip cd rtl8187_linux_26.1010.0622.2006/ wget http://patches.aircrack-ng.org/rtl8187_2.6.24v3.patch tar xzf drv.tar.gz tar xzf stack.tar.gz patch -Np1 -i rtl8187_2.6.24v3.patch Then I put rtl8187 to the blacklist - as root Edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and add “blacklist rtl8187” as a new line Then remove the present driver sudo ifconfig wlan0 down sudo rmmod rtl8187 And then as root make make install Then reboot and from new start, the network connection was OK, because the name wlan0 was not changed, it wasn't necessary to change the network settings. My system is Ubuntu 8.04.1 64bit. So please, it would be great that someone from ubuntu team apply the aircrack-ng Realtek driver into ubuntu kernel, or change the present driver to have the same correct functionality. Becouse I suppose that with new kernel, I will have to recompile the driver again. -- 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
