After one bussiness day, they send me a driver, probably a development version, that compiled under Hardy (kernel 2.6.24-19) and did all I was expecting from it. For those who are having troubles with RTL8187B, do the same and you'll get a functional driver.

In any case, no online vendor can stop me from saying: Thank You. I can get to the wishlist, but when I try to check out it asks for a shipping address, and of course I don’t know yours.

If it's still being stupid, don't even worry about it; those other guys probably deserve it more than I do, anyway. :-) And, thanks!

I tried to buy you something from ThinkGeek, but it insists on shipping to my address. I can't use PayPal--they won't accept my credit card any more unless I open an account, which I am not going to do. So, can I maybe send you an Amazon gift cert? The driver saved my ass.
