I have the same issue, wi-fi is only useable if I get closer than 2-3 meters from the antena. Farther form that it just isn´t able to connect.
Using the Ubuntu 10.4 64bit here, but Debian 5.0.4, Debian Testing , OpenSUSE 11.2 and Mandriva 2010.0 all have the same problems (best seems Mandriva). And guess what?? Windows 7 64bit gives AWESOME reception ... witch of course is the cherry on my I-hate-this-damn-chip sunday ;) *** Have been in contact with the guys at Linux-wireless (kernel devel list) and had to stop the test they were trying to diagnose the problem. Seems the USB stick that uses rtl8187b works fine, the problem is the onboard chip. Anyone have this experience? The guys at Linux-wireless asked me to do a MMIO trace on the drivers, but I had no time (needs kernel config), if anyone has the time or the will reply to this and I will try to explain how that works. *** Have tryied e-mailing the guys at Realtek, didn´t get a response for now.
