In my desperate attempt to get WPA support for my RTL8187B device, I have updated to 8.10 (which features the new 2.6.27 kernel). However, I regret to inform you that support for the device is extremely slow and unreliable. So unreliable in fact, that I was forced to switch back to the older 2.6.24 kernel featured in 8.04.
I have been able to install the driver hosted at http://www.datanorth.net/~cuervo/rtl8187b/ with very basic WEP only support. So basic in fact, that signal strength is incorrectly reported as very low (when it should be 100%). This bug is very much still present in the 2.6.27 kernel. I am still searching for solutions to this problem.
