Comment 69 for bug 246141

It is interesting. I'm running the latest version of the vanilla drivers from Realtek (rtl8187se_linux_26[1].1022.0904.2008_Release.tar.gz) on Hardy. They compiled easily with only a few warnings, no errors.

The performance so far has been flawless. Everything works - iwconfig, iwlist, nm-applet, the works. I also haven't had any unexpected dropouts like in the previous version.

My question is - Why are all of the hacks and patches needed to get the driver even working under Intrepid? And then when it is working, why are there still bugs and crashes?
