Well, I tried once more today, maybe I'm doing something wrong? - I run "./scripts/driver-select rtl818x" in compat-wireless-2010-10-28 - then "patch -p1 rtl8187_dev.c rtl8187b-do-not-do-per-packet-TX-AGC.patch" - then "make" - then "sudo make install" - then reboot "dmesg |grep compat" gives "Compat-wireless backport release: compat- wireless-2010-10-22-5-g69fdc09" so the new module is used. On speedtest.net, max speed is ~ 1mbit (on 10 mbit cable internet @10 meters distance) The router reports an improved "Signal Quality", but iwconfig now shows: "Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0" "Tx excessive retries:2589 Invalid misc:17686 Missed beacon:0" Herton: If I make something wrong, can you please post your rtl8187.ko.gz (Mandriva 2010.1 / 2.6.33.7-desktop-2mnb x86_64)? Thank you.
