What do you mean by "the 'L' just isn't there most of the time"? AFAIK there is no RTL8187 chip (without a letter suffix), only RTL8187L, RTL8187B and RTL8187SE, and 8187L is not much more common that 8187B, to warrant calling it "RTL8187" in any case. -- Vista: [V]iruses, [I]ntruders, [S]pyware, [T]rojans and [A]dware. :-) -- 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
