Please use the "Reply-to-all" when you respond to an email. I want to keep the
wireless mailing list informed about what we are doing.

Driver r8712u does not appear to work with your device. I could not get the
Linux driver source for the 7811 to download from the Edimax site, but I found
it on the Realtek site as RTL8192CU_v2.0.1126.zip. There is a tarball inside
that zip file with the Linux driver. It does not compile under 2.6.37-rc1. From
the warnings, I can see that it needs work to get it to run on a 64-bit system,
but it is likely to work in the 32-bit version.

Realtek is sending me some sample devices. If one of these nano USB devices is
included, I will convert the driver to 64 bits and send the modifications back
to Realtek. If/when that happens, I'll let you know.
