Comment 31 for bug 182473

I wasn't able to get on until today. lspci does not show mac80211 or rtl8187. In fact, there's no entry for my wireless card in there at all. Where is it hiding!? after running modprobe, i do see both listed as currently running modules though.

Doing a "modprobe -c | grep mac80211" returns tons of entries now, though modprobe -c | grep rtl8187 only returns a handful.

alias usb:v0DF6p000Dd*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* rtl8187
alias usb:v03F0pCA02d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* rtl8187
alias usb:v0846p6A00d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* rtl8187
alias usb:v0846p6100d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* rtl8187
alias usb:v0BDAp8187d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* rtl8187

There are also six rtl8150 entries.

Anyway, I haven't been on long enough to know if your suggestion works. Have you been having any luck? Have the issues returned since you began inserting the mac80211 module? Lastly, if this does work out, how to I enable this module to load every time?

Thanks again,
