I want to give a "heads up" to the users of this driver. This afternoon, I was using flood pings on my RTL8187B at different transmission rates to determine how well the device worked. In the middle of the 3rd test, the device failed, and no longer has the ability to transmit. I have no way of knowing if that was just the time that it failed, or if the driver is overpowering the transmitter. In any case, you should watch for problems. Larry
