There are running issue with the 8187 under hardy. Hardy should be regarded 
as beta software as it was
released way before it should have been. Wait for 8.04.1 next month for a 
more stable and usable system.

Thanks - I'll do that.

[ubuntu-uk] Wireless LAN problem

2008-06-06 Thread Gordon
Installed WUBI 8.04 on a Toshiba Satellite L40 that uses the Realtek 8187 
WLan chip. I went to this site
http://www.datanorth.net/~cuervo/rtl8187b/ for the driver, followed the 
instructions there but ran into a problem.
On issuing the ./makedrv command, this happened:
rm -fr *.mod.c *.mod *.o .*.cmd *.mod.* *.ko *.o *~
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/build 
M=/home/gordon/rtl8187b-modified/ieee80211 CC=gcc modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-16-generic'
scripts/Makefile.build:46: *** CFLAGS was changed in 
/home/gordon/rtl8187b-modified/ieee80211/Makefile. Fix it to use 
EXTRA_CFLAGS. Stop.
make[1]: *** [_module_/home/gordon/rtl8187b-modified/ieee80211] Error 2

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-16-generic'

Then when trying the ./wlan0up command I got this:
./wlan0up
insmod: can't read 'ieee80211_crypt-rtl.ko': No such file or directory
insmod: can't read 'ieee80211_crypt_wep-rtl.ko': No such file or directory

insmod: can't read 'ieee80211-rtl.ko': No such file or directory
insmod: can't read 'r8187.ko': No such file or directory


Can anyone divine from all that what has gone wrong and whether it's a 
problem caused by using WUBI instead of a proper install?

Thanks

There are running issue with the 8187 under hardy. Hardy should be regarded
as beta software as it was
released way before it should have been. Wait for 8.04.1 next month for a
more stable and usable system.
Most folks using 7.10 are using the 8187 with no real issues.

Many folks seem to be going the ndiswrapper route for the 8187:

You may wish to go this way for now.
