Hi all. Sorry if I'm not posting this properly, my first time here. I have what might be a bug to report: My Realtek 8187 USB wifi card is not being handled by rtl8187 module. I am using Ubuntu 8.10, and module from Jan 29th that is (presumably) supplied by Ubuntu package linux-backports-modules- intrepid is not handling the card, as well as the one I built myself from (git?) sources, dated Feb 15th. I can properly load the module rtl8187 (both already mentioned versions), but when I insert the USB card, nothing happens. See logs at the bottom. To properly load two versions I had to correspondingly rename mac80211.ko and cfg80211.ko, since there were errors reported (unknown symbols, unable to load, etc). Since I can properly load the modules, dependencies are not the problem. Unless there is some other *.ko that I need to rename? The card is AirLive WL1600USB, PCI/USB ID 1b75:8187, url: http://www.airlive.com/product/product_3.jsp?pdid=PD1223473034861 I somehow have the feeling that the PCI/USB ID of this card is unrecognized by the module (if the module even recognizes hardware only by it's ID), since this is rather obscure ID (google only returns 2 results for that ID). I'm no expert, I might be wrong. I'd like to get it working with native drivers if possible. Didn't try ndiswrapper yet, and I'd rather if that were not my only option. If any more info is needed, please, feel free to ask. $ tail /var/log/syslog Feb 16 05:55:36 CH4 kernel: [ 1389.137978] usbcore: deregistering interface driver rtl8187 Feb 16 05:55:41 CH4 kernel: [ 1394.294357] usbcore: registered new interface driver rtl8187 Feb 16 05:55:45 CH4 kernel: [ 1397.480159] usb 4-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4 Feb 16 05:55:45 CH4 kernel: [ 1397.678395] usb 4-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice $ lsusb Bus 004 Device 004: ID 1b75:8187 Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub $ uname -a Linux CH4 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Thu Jan 29 19:24:39 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux modinfo for the self-built Feb 15th version: $ modinfo rtl8187 filename: /lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/updates/drivers/net/wireless/rtl818x/rtl8187.ko license: GPL description: RTL8187/RTL8187B USB wireless driver author: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@xxxxxxxxxxxx> author: Hin-Tak Leung <htl10@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> author: Herton Ronaldo Krzesinski <herton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> author: Andrea Merello <andreamrl@xxxxxxxxxx> author: Michael Wu <flamingice@xxxxxxxxxxxx> srcversion: 545837A60AA95978807201A alias: usb:v13D1pABE6d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* alias: usb:v0DF6p0028d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* alias: usb:v0DF6p000Dd*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* alias: usb:v03F0pCA02d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* alias: usb:v0846p4260d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* alias: usb:v0846p6A00d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* alias: usb:v0846p6100d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* alias: usb:v0BDAp8198d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* alias: usb:v0BDAp8197d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* alias: usb:v0BDAp8189d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* alias: usb:v0BDAp8187d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* alias: usb:v050Dp705Ed*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* alias: usb:v0B05p171Dd*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* depends: mac80211,eeprom_93cx6,cfg80211,usbcore vermagic: 2.6.27-11-generic SMP mod_unload modversions 586 $ dmesg [ 3536.706004] usbcore: deregistering interface driver rtl8187 [ 3540.582591] usbcore: registered new interface driver rtl8187 [ 3545.160202] usb 4-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 [ 3545.326673] usb 4-4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [ 3556.715311] usb 4-4: USB disconnect, address 5 [ 3558.944148] usb 4-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 6 [ 3559.110562] usb 4-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Thanks for the hard work and your help.
