This is not the fault of rtl8187 driver, but something wrong with in the Fn Key Handler of Loongson kernel module that I discovered when just get my laptop.
I'm using my own kernel tree with many features. You can checkout the source code and binary at here [0]. I check the source code of Loongson kernel module, but I can't figure out the problem. I have to create a patch [1] to disable to Fn handler (But Fn keys are still working) to workaround the issue. It is based on upstream kernel instead of the linux-loongson-community because of the outdated code and some unknown bug. I added genpatches, e-sources' (the kernel tree maintained by me in #gentoo-zh) patches, and more loongson specific drivers ported linux-loongson-community and more patches for bugfixes and enhancement. BTW, can you or do you know any kernel developers can help us to figure out the issue?
