I just tried the steps provided by Saul D. B. and gave the compat-wireless-2009-01-12 a try together with my built-in RTL8187B USB module. Compilation on Ubuntu 8.10 was possible without any problems and installation of the new drivers as described went fine.
- at least wicd doesn't hang any more (see issue (3) in my previous comment posted on 2008-12-23) - signal quality seems to be better than with the original driver, but I will have to do some additional hours of testing in order to see, how things work out... For now many thanks for the hint! -- rtl8187 drops connection https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/182473 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
