Unfortunately, source > is not available. Unsurprisingly, I imagine that the windows environment was what the manufacturer had in mind. I mean no disrespect to anyone regarding these tests. They simply serve to rule out hardware failures and mean that I can help in my probably small and naive way to improve the driver. > You can check what we did when the RTL8187B was implemented.

I doubt my ability to come up with something awe inspiring but if I can help and contribute then I shall make it a point. > I will be happy to test any improvements that you suggest.
