This problem can be started to fix thanks to cuervo: http://www.datanorth.net/~cuervo/rtl8187b/ offers a modified version of the source which can be compiled. The interface then works without wpa support.
This is the next thing to get fixed, could you help(a)? In Realtek's original package one could find the source of wpa_supplicant-0.5.3, the same way in the modified package of the source(I cannot tell, whether the author has made changes). How can I most beautifully and "ubuntuly" activate WPA support? If this works I can finally delete my windows installation and completely switch to ubuntu. Instead I just installed the ubuntu package for wpa_supplicant, but after some tests I could not connect to WPA-protected networks using NetworkManager. When I shall enter the passphrase, I can only choose between various WEP options. When using manual mode I can at least choose WPA and enter information. Could not get it done anyway. Can I here start deving? I would love to be able to make my notebook 100% availabe in the next ubuntu release. ** Attachment added: "Modified source for rtl8187b by Cuervo" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10721477/rtl8187b-modified-dist.tar.gz -- rtl8187b error while compiling https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173880 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
