That is a fair possibility. I upgraded the kernel on Saturday hence I h=
ad
to rebuild against the new kernel. Upon install, I noticed that rtl8187
was correctly installed. Of course, this second time of building and
installing, I had removed the blacklist entries for rtl8187 as I had
successfully used it for 24 hours.

One minor point, I notice in iwconfig is that it doesnt report a bit ra=
te
of greater than 1Mb/sec. Is this a known issue?
