It looks better, although FWIW I was able to fix-up the 2nd round by
hand without much problems. :-)

Wow, you have already committed to wireless-testing... that means it
will be on fedora 9 soon :-).

I've tested the latest wireless-testing. It's working with both rtl8187 and 8187b, which is great!

The time of bringing the interface up are significant in both cases: 7.5 seconds for rtl8187 and 15 seconds for rtl8187b.

I was able to connect to a WPA2 enabled AP with both devices. Unfortunately, I've seen the same problem with both devices. If wpa_supplicant is running, there is a 50% probability that it would fail to connect initially, and all further scans will come empty. I've seen a similar problem with a PCI based rtl8185, although it was less likely.

Anyway, both rtl8187 and rtl8187b are working equally well, except that the startup time is twice as long for rtl8187b.
