What distribution did you mean?
The old AWUS036H had the Realtek 8187L, yes. Then there came out before nearly
an year the AWUS036NH and the AWUS036NEH. Both base on the Ralink 3070L Chipset
and have till today the best range of all devices on the market.
Now Alfa release the AWUS036NHR with the Realtek 8188RU and the AWUS036NHA with
an Atheros AR9271.
Last year i helped to get support for the Ralink Chipsets in the 2800usb driver.
I got white papers and so on from the chipsets and the driver developer could
connect to an laptop running 24/7 and make tests with the device.
How can i help to get support? What distribution did you prefere on the notebook
to connect to?
When I looked at the driver, it turned out to be the driver for the RTL8192CU
with new additional device IDs. Please try the attached patch for any 2.6.39 or
later kernel. Meanwhile, I will see what other changes have been made to the driver.
This is a ping on the previous mail. Did the patch work?
