Now the wireless rtl8187b adapter seems for now a dead end, the linux-wireless people can´t seem to get interested in this bug, seems it is a hit-miss situation as one of the devs has the chip working pleasently in his box, the latest post was something in the way of "well mine works so I can´t write code to fix something that works".

In Aug/2010 another kernel dev has aparently seen the problem and is as I write this trying some test on the driver.

Oh well, we will wait and see. In the Ubuntu bug tracker the problem is still open and persists on many people´s machines.

By the way just have a search in Ubuntu bugs : Realtek wireless has a lot of bugs tracking, the most of them relate to #567016 , but I couldn´t mark that one as a duplicate of this thread, so I will try the other way around to see if we can get everybody in the same page.

FYI seems the .32-generic-proposed kernel fixed some issues and a lot of people are reporting success (but if seems they are in a different chipset than 8187b) have not tested yet, but worth a try.
