Comment 65 for bug 182473

I have to confirm the message above. After installing the driver from mentioned aircrack-ng link and followed the manual.
But little bit different, because the wireless connection is the only internet connection I have.

So first I did:

wget http://dl.aircrack-ng.org/drivers/rtl8187_linux_26.1010.zip
unzip rtl8187_linux_26.1010.zip
cd rtl8187_linux_26.1010.0622.2006/
wget http://patches.aircrack-ng.org/rtl8187_2.6.24v3.patch
tar xzf drv.tar.gz
tar xzf stack.tar.gz
patch -Np1 -i rtl8187_2.6.24v3.patch

Then I put rtl8187 to the blacklist - as root
Edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and add “blacklist rtl8187” as a new line

Then remove the present driver

sudo ifconfig wlan0 down
sudo rmmod rtl8187

And then as root

make
make install

Then reboot and from new start, the network connection was OK, because the name wlan0 was not changed, it wasn't necessary to change the network settings.
My system is Ubuntu 8.04.1 64bit.

So please, it would be great that someone from ubuntu team apply the aircrack-ng Realtek driver into ubuntu kernel, or change the present driver to have the same correct functionality.
Becouse I suppose that with new kernel, I will have to recompile the driver again.
