Can you open your dongle and see if you really have a RTL8187B? (as you
said you had to force the ID). May be it wasn't really a 8187b device but
another variant. I did many tests this week with a 8187b that continues to
work ok.
I don't want to open it as it should still be under warranty. I'm
pretty sure it is an 8187b. When I tried it with the 8187 driver, it
gets an rf calibration error. By using your driver with the patch
below, it loaded and worked, at least for a while. It probably was a
natural death, but I felt I should issue a warning, jest in case.
I was going to hold the following patch until I had more to
contribute; however, I don't know if I will be able to participate.
Please apply the patch, as it lets devices like mine, where the
iProduct string identifies is as an RTL8187B device, but the idProduct
value is 0x8187, not 0x8189.
Thanks,
Larry
