That way the general community can learn and participate, particularly when I get it wrong. The usual reason for the "link not ready" message is that the network is down. How are you controlling the network? For wireless, that message can come from the rfkill switch being off; however, that functionality is not implemented in 2.6.30 for rtl8187.
