Can you download the current compat-wireless tar ball (http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download) and give it a try? Also can you show your "dmesg | grep rtl" result ? The "can't ping" , etc behavior with multiple network interfaces is normal and quite simple to work around - you need to read up on "default route" and the "route" command. Are you using NetworkManager or configuring by hand? If you are not using NetworkManager, you need to set up dhcp manually. On 2nd thought, I am suprised you have problem with ping, because if you are using NetworkManager it should switch the default route, etc if you choose to switch to the wired interface. (You have come to the right place - Larry and Herton and I are the current maintainers of the rtl8187 driver). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
