Is there anyone working on rtl8187b support, or any institutional wisdom about this chip? I recently purchased a Trendnet usb wifi adapter - TEW-424UB HWv3.0. It shows up as VendorID 0x0bda and ProductID 0x8189, and when opened has a rtl8187b inside. The drivers from the git wireless-dev branch do not recognize this device. I added the 0x8189 ProductID to wireless-dev/drivers/net/wireless/mac80211/rtl818x/rtl8187_dev.c, just to see if it would work, but this caused a panic when the driver loaded. Realtek has a linux driver available at http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=1&Level=6&Conn=5&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true (see the very bottom), which is based on Andrea Merello's code circa 2005, but this doesn't compile with recent kernels - and incidentally is painful to cross compile. (I'm building for armv4l). Any thoughts or insight on how to get this to work? --- Daniel Risacher magnus@xxxxxxxxxxxx - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
