[Bug 396133] New: module rtl8187 does not work for the 8187b revision
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=396133 Summary: module rtl8187 does not work for the 8187b revision Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: RC 1 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: andrei.slappy@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: System Test I know i should probably address this to the kernel team or something but since you don't the stock kernel here's the deal: This is a widespread wifi usb card among all new laptops(more than 40%). This is supposed to be a vista only card so what they did was to change the id of the card and pronto! the b revision. The new id is 0x8197 but works exactly like 0x8189. I even found a dude who coded a patched module for that one. http://www.datanorth.net/~cuervo/rtl8187b/ This one i tested and works ok. Ndis wrapper does fucko for this card on x86-64 but supposedly works on i586. It would be nice if you released this change in the default kernels as a vast number of vista only laptops have this card. In particular Hope this helps.
