With this patch, the rtl8187 driver from origin/everything (2.6.25-rc1)
seems to work well for the first time. Previous versions sometimes
worked, but were slow on download speeds (~2.5MB/s vs >4MB/s) compared
to my old MA401 card.

The error appears when starting the wireless network with "ifup wlan0".
The insmodding works without any error.
Thanks, I think this patch will fix it.
