Hi, this patch (made against wireless-testing repository) adds support for 8187B to the rtl8187 module.
Thanks for your efforts. If this driver had been available two months ago, it would have made my life much simpler.
Don't get too discouraged about the negative comments - that kind of diligence is what makes Linux so robust, and keeps this open-source project from chaos.
Once your patches get more stabilized, I will be submitting one to handle my hardware, which is a LevelOne WNC-0301USB. For some reason, it has an idProduct code of 0x8187, not 0x8189, and one has to look at the iProduct value. For early testing, I am just forcing it to be an 8187B. For my information, what is the iProduct value for your device?
I did only minimal testing. The USB device was only about 1 meter from the AP. It connected with a WPA-encrypted network in about the same time as my BCM43xx devices do.
I do have one minor comment - I prefer to see signal and noise values in dBm, not as xx/65.
