I put the patch on top of a520bdbe7d344296482f9355e29b0018ea58760f (current wireless-testing master head), and did make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd` rtl8187.ko and replaced the one shipped in kernel-2.6.25.12-100.fc9 (that should be essentially also wireless testing head), depmod -a , and it works. Wierd. The as shipped module has the problem Larry described earlier - I could get an ip address, and leaving a ping running it fails after about the 7th ping packets, quite soon. So my problem seems to be largely due to the tx seq no change. (maybe with some other issues thrown in occasionally). Is adding the couple of lines likely to cause problems? it is an improvement in my case although so far it seems to work say, maybe 2/3 or 3/4 of the time (i.e. I patch a few new kernel rpms, it either work or it doesn't and if it doesn't I go back to the trust-worthy one before July 14), and the code seems to be a sensible (for the time being). Maybe Larry is affected by more than one problem, like possibly the power management issue Herton mentioned.
