Hellow people, i buy an notebooks with the rtl8187b card. I have heavyly test several ways to connect but the connection can not be stabilize a connection. I try with wep, wap, without pass. Nothing works with this card. Identify card # lsusb ``` Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0bda:8189 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8187B Wireless 802.11g 54Mbps Network Adapter ``` I wanna give the atention for ID Card: 0bda:**8189** This is not 0bda:8187 or 0bda:8197. Why i saying this? Because i research in the web and discover some people can get work with 0bda:8187 using linux kernel native module driver. But i can not really make connection i think something wrong with this card or module or maybe not, i dont know. When i set the AP with pass i got this error: # iwconfig wlan0 essid "MyEssid" key s:asciikey Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument. Using wep, wap or nopass. ? I subscribe the ht tps: //qa. mandriva .com/ show_bug.cgi?id= 39334 a bug open related with this problem. Recently we have a notice in comment #11 to try use with ndiswrapper ``` ndiswrapper -a 0bda:8197 net8187b ``` But i can not force to use 0bda:8197 instead 0bda:8189: ``` # ndiswrapper -a 0bda:8197 net8187b Driver 'net8187b' is already used for '0BDA:8197' # ndiswrapper -l net8187b : driver installed device (0BDA:8189) present (alternate driver: rtl8187) ``` But this can not be donned, it persist to use 8189 and not 8197 as related. I don't know anyone else with this same model of card, and how we can do more tests. I hope someone can help us. Im using Linux 2.6.33.7-rt29 #7 SMP PREEMPT RT Tue Nov 2 23:41:52 BRST 2010 x86_64 Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU T4200 @ 2.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux I test in the Ubuntu, Mandriva and Arch and no lucky. I try in Gentoo too with kernel 2.6.36-wl+ (git version), same issues.
