Last I checked Andrea Merello hadn't been contributing to his sourceforge project for some time. Here's the link to it: http://sourceforge.net/projects/rtl8180-sa2400/
But Rosewill - the manufacturer of my rtl8187l usb stick - was still including his work on their driver CD and the same story goes for the Realtek driver download website. I was unable to get his driver to compile when I tried back in Sept. 08. Here's my experience and final solution to the RTL8187L troubles I was experiencing: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=911581 It may not work for your variant of the RTL8187, but it does work for the L (assuming you're running Jaunty): sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-jaunty Note: Throughput was not so great - read the thread referenced above for details. Finally, thank you Thomas and the System76 team for the awesome and free "powered by ubuntu linux" sticker that has replaced the Windows Vista nonsense on my laptop! Glad to hear you've found a solution to your rtl8187B chipset issues. -- realtek rtl8187 weak signal, occasional slow performance https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/293946 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
