Hello all, I can add to this that the rtl8187 driver seems to perform worse then its Windows counterpart (for this device anyway). Today, the Linux driver could not even connect anymore to the AP. Issuing "iwconfig wlan0 apname" just doesn't do anything. I could connect to another, more closer AP in Linux however. I'm very annoyed to announce that, despite the loss in flexibility, we will be moving this box to Windows because the wireless connection then "just works". I'll still check the list and I will remain available to test anything that could help the Linux driver though.
