Ok, I see the 8187b is in development. But PLEASE ask Thadeu Cascardo for his patch as it seems to fix the issue with these cards when connected to Laptop (Positivo Laptops in Brasil for instance), this would even let the Mandriva folks show Positivo that they don't need to ship the Mandriva 2008.0 woith their Linux Laptops anymore ... the patch he sent me FIXED the problem where the chip did not connect or when it did it would lose the connection right away... see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/215802?comments=all I haven´t aplied any other patches and the one he sent me JUST WORKS, tested in a Ubuntu 10.04 64bit (64bit being important since the Realtek support told me they did NOT support 64bit with their linux drivers) Thanks Rogerio 2010/11/2 Herton Ronaldo Krzesinski <herton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>: > On 02-11-2010 00:46, Larry Finger wrote: >> >> On 11/01/2010 09:42 PM, Hin-Tak Leung wrote: >>> >>> --- On Tue, 2/11/10, Herton Ronaldo Krzesinski<herton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> >>> wrote: >>> >>>> We were using wrong address for BRSR >>>> (Basic Rate Set Register) while >>>> initializing its value, comparing with Realtek sources, for >>>> 8187B case. >>>> >>>> Also, the same register is initialized in >>>> rtl8187b_reg_table, so remove >>>> the duplicate initialization from the table. >>>> >>>> Signed-off-by: Herton Ronaldo Krzesinski<herton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> >>>> Acked-by: Larry Finger<Larry.Finger@xxxxxxxxxxxx> >>> >>> Acked-by: Hin-Tak Leung<htl10@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> >>> >>> ANAPARAM* stands for "anonymous parameters", right?
