Hi,

i'm trying to preseed my ubuntu installation with mini.iso/netboot-Image over wifi.
lsusb shows me rtl8187. But loading rtl8187 failed, because the modul is missing'...

It's during installation. Only busybox is available and i can't run the command from above.

modules rtl8287, rtl8187B and rtl8187L are not found is all i can say....

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

Can you provide some additional details? What version of Ubuntu are you trying to install? If it's Precise(12.04), are you using the latest daily iso?

[Lebowski (schulte-martin)]

Yes,
12.04 and the latest daily build

Hello Lebowski, or anyone else affected,

Accepted linux into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

I've examined the contents of the nic-usb-modules udeb from the 3.2.0-24.37 kernel in precise-proposed and can confirm the rtl8187 module is included:
