Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-image-
The kernel module RTL8187 fails to load (not sure since which kernel).
Loading with sudo modprobe rtl8187 returns:
FATAL: Error inserting rtl8187 (/lib/modules/
dmesg gives me:
ieee80211_init: failed to initialize WME (err=-17)
[ 5084.020441] rtl8187: Unknown symbol ieee80211_free_hw

I just compiled r8187 based on the older ieee80211 and it works fine. However, rtl8187 which should work with mac80211 (or am I missing something?) does not work.
I am using an RTL8187L-Device which should work fine out of the box.
These errors also occur WHEN THE DEVICE IS NOT CONNECTED (if I manually do a modprobe then).
Seems to be connected to https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ linux-meta/ +bug/200953 somehow?
