Bug Description
The RTL8187 wireless driver connects fine and works on Ubuntu startup, but it stops working after 2 minutes, it will start working again if you enable and disable networking, but only for 10 seconds. The tray icon doesn't change when it stops working. I'm using Hardy Heron x86 installed from live CD.
The rtl8187 didn't work at all for me in Gutsy, but ndiswrapper did. In Hardy however, ndiswrapper doesn't work. (At least not with WPA TKIP, I've heard of people getting it to work with AES, but I am unable to test myself). I'm using a Netgear WG111v2 (lsusb: 0846:6a00). This problem may only be happening with WPA since I haven't been able to test with other encryptions.
