This problem still is around :(. I have tried Kubuntu 15.04/15.10 and Netrunner 16 and the RTL8187 card is alive and finds the router (and internet) right after login. But a few seconds later the connection is dead although the network manager applet, iwconfig and my router's clients list still show the connection as being alive and good. But no ping to the router is possible anymore. The card is identified by lsusb as Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0bda:8187 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.

So ... here is an update: 1st - Nacho's driver does not work at all for my 10.04 64bit box ... it is hit and miss on the compile, but I lose my wlan0 interface, it's jsut gone !! here is the e-mail I got from Realtek about their support for 64bit [code] de Jerry-RealtekFAE @realtek.com paraRogerio Luz Coelho luz.roge...@... cc wlanfae ...realtek.com data28 de fevereiro de 2010 22:45 assunto Re: 8187b for linux 64bits Dear Sir/Madam Thanks for your e-mail. The RTL8187B Linux driver just only support 32bit os. Best Regards Jerry [/code] The GREAT NEWS is that there is a Brasilian developer in the kernel- wireless list that seems to have fixed the problem: I am actually using the 8187b card with a Ubuntu 10.04 box 64 bit about 30 meters from the router, and conection is as good it seems as with Win7 ... Will test more of this connection so it can be patched in the kernel, but it will take a HUGE TIME to come down to a kernel compiled for Ubuntu, my advice is getting the patch, apllying it to the source of the driver and recompiling the driver against your running kernel ... Will ask him if I can post it here, as soon as he responds will post it and maybe some 2.6.32-25 kernel packages with it already installed Rogerio ** Changed in: linux Status: New = Confirmed -- rtl8187 link quality poor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/215802 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 215802] Re: rtl8187 link quality poor
Excerpt from a Linux-wireless discussion (this is Linux kernel developer's list for wireless interfaces) They asked me to do some tests: the major one was MMIO tracing the driver: You need to enable MMIO tracing support in your kernel config, and recompile your kernel (assuming it is not enabled already - distros usually disable the entire tracing framework by default). Then: -Mount debugfs to /debug. (Usually it is mounted by default, but some distros like to mount it @ /sys/kernel/debug instead - remount it to /debug.) -echo mmiotrace /debug/tracing/current_tracer -cat /debug/tracing/trace_pipe trace.txt - at this point, tracing begins. -Load r8187b and connect. -echo Driver loaded! /debug/tracing/trace_marker -echo nop Ok here are some news: 1) The rtl8187b problem is a know bug in Ubuntu since forever - bug #215802 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/215802 2) Tryied the Realtek driver found in: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1446894 (rtl8187B_linux_26.1056.1112.2009.release.tar.gz ) - as seno said here on the list in 14-05-2010 17:20:02 It installs a module called r8187b, witch I managed to use ONCE, after it installed, then after it disconnected it would not connect again, and after I rebooted there was no more wi-fi interface (!!!) ifconfig and iwconfig confirm that my wi-fi card (wlan0) is nowhere to be found 5) Rate seems weird on this card. If I define the rate with iwconfig wlan0 rate 11M it gives the best download speed, even if I rase this to 24M or 54M I get at least a 40% difference, same if I lower the rate. Maybe what Hin-Tak Leung (2010-04-03) said about the Minstrel algorithm? Could we try to install both Minstrel and older algorithms side by side and make a comparison? from what I read here: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Documentation/mac80211/RateControl/minstrel Further, it means that the 1 Mbps rate (which typically has a high probability of successful transmission) will not be used in preference to the 11 Mbps rate. But my rate is always a defaulted 1Mb/s on bootup. I put it to 11M manually and the connection improves dramatically 4) Ran the mmiotrace on the rtl8187 driver, it all seems gibberish to me ;) one while it was at 1m from the router giving me top speed (same as Win7): trace1.txt: VERSION 20070824 PCIDEV 10390671 0 d000 0 0 0 0 0 0 800 0 0 0 0 0 0 agpgart-sis PCIDEV 0008 10390003 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 PCIDEV 0010 10390968 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 PCIDEV 0015 10395513 10 1f0 3f6 170 376 1081 0 0 8 0 8 0 10 0 0 pata_sis PCIDEV 0018 10397001 14 d8404000 0 0 0 0 0 0 1000 0 0 0 0 0 0 ohci_hcd PCIDEV 0019 10397001 15 d8405000 0 0 0 0 0 0 1000 0 0 0 0 0 0 ohci_hcd PCIDEV 001b 10397002 16 d8406000 0 0 0 0 0 0 1000 0 0 0 0 0 0 ehci_hcd PCIDEV 0020 10390191 13 d8407000 1001 0 0 0 0 0 80 80 0 0 0 0 0 sis190 PCIDEV 0028 10391183 11 10c9 10bd 10c1 10b9 10a1 0 0 8 4 8 4 10 0 0 sata_sis PCIDEV 0030 1039000a 18 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 pcieport PCIDEV 0038 1039000a 19 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 pcieport PCIDEV 0078 10397502 12 d840 0 0 0 0 0 0 4000 0 0 0 0 0 0 HDA Intel PCIDEV 00f8 10390004 1a 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 pcieport PCIDEV 0100 10396351 10 c008 d800 9001 0 0 0 2 1000 2 80 0 0 0 0 PCIDEV 0300 197b2382 10 d810 0 0 0 0 0 d850 100 0 0 0 0 0 1 sdhci-pci PCIDEV 0302 197b2381 10 d8100400 0 0 0 0 0 0 100 0 0 0 0 0 0 PCIDEV 0303 197b2383 10 d8100800 0 0 0 0 0 0 100 0 0 0 0 0 0 jmb38x_ms ** then when it was about 10m - failed to connect (Windows 7 connects normally) trace2.txt VERSION 20070824 PCIDEV 10390671 0 d000 0 0 0 0 0 0 800 0 0 0 0 0 0 agpgart-sis PCIDEV 0008 10390003 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 PCIDEV 0010 10390968 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 PCIDEV 0015 10395513 10 1f0 3f6 170 376 1081 0 0 8 0 8 0 10 0 0 pata_sis PCIDEV 0018 10397001 14 d8404000 0 0 0 0 0 0 1000 0 0 0 0 0 0 ohci_hcd PCIDEV 0019 10397001 15 d8405000 0 0 0 0 0 0 1000 0 0 0 0 0 0 ohci_hcd PCIDEV 001b 10397002 16 d8406000 0 0 0 0 0 0 1000 0 0 0 0 0 0 ehci_hcd PCIDEV 0020 10390191 13 d8407000 1001 0 0 0 0 0 80 80 0 0 0 0 0 sis190 PCIDEV 0028 10391183 11 10c9 10bd 10c1 10b9 10a1 0 0 8 4 8 4 10 0 0 sata_sis PCIDEV 0030 1039000a 18 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 pcieport PCIDEV 0038 1039000a 19 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 pcieport PCIDEV 0078 10397502 12 d840 0 0 0 0 0 0 4000 0 0 0 0 0 0 HDA Intel PCIDEV 00f8 10390004 1a 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 pcieport PCIDEV 0100 10396351 10 c008 d800 9001 0 0 0 2 1000 2 80 0 0 0 0 PCIDEV 0300 197b2382 10 d810 0 0 0 0 0 d850 100 0 0 0 0 0 1 sdhci-pci PCIDEV 0302 197b2381 10 d8100400 0 0 0 0 0 0 100 0 0 0 0 0 0 PCIDEV 0303 197b2383 10 d8100800 0 0 0 0 0 0 100 0 0 0 0 0 0 jmb38x_ms *** All the steps asked by Gábor were done.

[Bug 215802] Re: rtl8187 link quality poor
I have a Netgear WG111v3 (RTL8187B) card. I have the same problems. I have also tried the following with no real gains: 1. Ubuntu 9.10 with all kernel upgrades 2. Ubuntu 10.04 with all kernel upgrades (2.6.32-22-generic) and with 2.6.34 kernel from Ubuntu kernel mainline (http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/) 3. Backtrack 4 cd If I use iwconfig wlanX rate auto, then the rate for the interface hovers around 1M most of the time. On manually forcing a higher rate (i.e., above 24M) the connection automatically drops periodically. Search for the term No probe response in the syslog.txt file attached. These are the time instances when the connection drops and reconnects. The distance from the Laptop to the Router is less than 5 meters and there is line of sight. There is no obstacle (wooden partition or a wall) causing the signal to drop. The card works fine with stable connection in Windows XP. Using ndiswrapper with windows xp inf+sys files in Ubuntu 10.04 (2.6.32-22) also works fine. But, the native drivers in the kernel do not work properly. I can run some additional tests or traces to provide more insight into what might be going wrong with the driver. I'll attach my iwconfig and lsusb files in the subsequent posts. ** Attachment added: syslog.txt http://launchpadlibrarian.net/49434286/syslog.txt -- rtl8187 link quality poor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/215802 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 215802] Re: rtl8187 link quality poor
Hy! ... and sorry again! But it's really interesting, and I wanted to post only if I compleatly sure about that! I mage many tests, and I found that the driver in the new kernel works better on one router, and works as poor on router two as router one works with the old driver... So with jaunty kernel: router one (especially a dlink ap DWL-2100AP with an ubuntu machine as router) has good link quality router two (a linksys wrv-200) has baad link quality And with karmic, router one is poor and two has good link quality! So finally I can't confirm it that the new driver is better than the old one! But it surely works some different way ;) I will try to test it on more routers, but unfortunatelly I have a new note now, and that one is used by my father...

@freemor, thanks for testing and the feedback for Jaunty. u-foka, since you are the original bug reporter, would you be able to test and confirm with the latest Karmic and upstream Mainline kernel?

[Bug 215802] Re: rtl8187 link quality poor
Hi ufooka, This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ . If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report. apport-collect -p linux-image-`uname -r` 215802 Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream- testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results. Thanks in advance. [This is an automated message. Apologies if it has reached you inappropriately; please just reply to this message indicating so.] ** Tags added: needs-kernel-logs ** Tags added: needs-upstream-testing ** Tags added: kj-triage ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- rtl8187 link quality poor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/215802 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 215802] Re: rtl8187 link quality poor
The problem persists in Jaunty. Misreported Signal level and low range. I did a apport-collect -p linux-image-`uname -r` 215802 as per kernel- janitors request. I can not provide the same on newer kernels or Karmic as this is a mission critical machine. the problem as severe enough to have me move to a wired connection (luckily in my case the machine lives in the same room as the router). If I can be of further assistance let me know. if no one can offer info from Karmic or a newer kernel I may be able to boot from the karmic live CD late one night and see if the problem is still alive in Karmic and if so get the apport-collect output for you. If I can generate further meaningful info without having to jump out of Jaunty I'd be glad to do so. regards, Freemor -- rtl8187 link quality poor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/215802 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 215802] Re: rtl8187 link quality poor
Just an update.. After some more testing it seems that although I am having a false high noise level causing a false low link quality it seems that I am not suffering the dropped connections and lost packets others are reporting. The false high noise level/low link quality is concerning however so I still feel that the problems with the RTL8187 should be noted in the release notes until this is resolved. -- rtl8187 link quality poor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/215802 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I can confirm this problem. uname -a Linux flaptop 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Fri Oct 24 06:42:44 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux link quality is tragically low even when I sit the laptop right beside tha access point. Was working 95% o.k. in 8.04.1 (small problem with dropped connections under heavy load but that was easy to deal with) the my wireless is now mostly 95% broken because the range is about 10 feet. using cat /proc/net/wireless shows Inter-| sta-| Quality| Discarded packets | Missed | WE face | tus | link level noise | nwid crypt frag retry misc | beacon | 22 wlan0: 19. 65130 0 0 0 00 as you can see the noise level is seriously high which it wasn't before upgrading and I can tell from other laptops that the high noise value is a false reading of some sort. (I'm fairly rural.. not a lot of interference) Please set this to high priority. And definitely strongly warn people before they upgrade as this will render any laptop with a built-in rtl8187 (which are many) nearly useless for mobile use. And it wil be a big shock to people coming from the stable environment of Hardy. if you need me to post more info let me know -- rtl8187 link quality poor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/215802 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test: 1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux- image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test. --or-- 2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD. Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel.
