Dear Sir,
Rencently,I do a job to transplant a wireless wifi-card connected by the USB,which was designed baseing the chip rtl8187 for ARM board.But in the process i have some trouble in writing the driver programe.
My linux kernel is Version-2.6.25.10,It is true that the kernel have the driver for the chip rtl8187 .When I connected the wifi card through the USB port ,the kernel can recoganize the card "Manufacturer_Realtek_RTL8187",So it's sure that the driver of RTL8187 is no problem.But when I ping it to the AP,the missing of datapackets and the delay are both terrible.and more , there is nothing accepted by the wireless router when i typed the "ping".
so i think there is some bug exist in the driver for RTL8187 of kernel ,isn't it? (ps: I have set several parameter,such essid ,IP address...)
So I download a "compat-wireless-2.6-old" packet.following the " Readme",i added the KLIB & KLIB_BUILD in the Makefile and "make" it.It is well to generate some modules with the typing".o"! but has not compiled the file rtl8187 or generated a "rtl8187.o".
and so i wanna to know how to solve this problem. i need some help from u,
Thank you for your attention!
Gu C.L.

yes, the rtl8187 driver earlier than 26.28/29 were a bit buggy. You
should use compat-wireless, and 2.6 kernel modules are named *.ko. You
should have a rtl8187.ko, and you need a few others (4-5 in total) as
well. There were a reorg and rtl818x now has its own directory,
compared to earlier kernel tree.
