That is a fair possibility. I upgraded the kernel on Saturday hence I had to rebuild against the new kernel. Upon install, I noticed that rtl8187 was correctly installed. Of course, this second time of building and installing, I had removed the blacklist entries for rtl8187 as I had successfully used it for 24 hours. One minor point, I notice in iwconfig is that it doesnt report a bit rate of greater than 1Mb/sec. Is this a known issue? Regards PGR > On Fri, Jan 30, 2009 at 10:04 PM, P.G.
