Real quick
I know, I’m lagging again.
I’ve been semi-flooded with reports that 2.6.27 (not .25) will/does contain real, non-hacky support for the 8187B. Good news for all of us. Now that the pros are involved (thank god, I did NOT want to go back into kernel land), I’m going to step aside and let them handle things. I’m still using Ubuntu 8.04.1, I’m too lazy/busy to compile from kernel.org sources (let’s just say I have a very active job right now), and Ubuntu hasn’t made 2.6.27 available yet (2008-AUG-23), so I’m standing by for that, and, in the meantime, my hack works fine for me, though connections seem to hang from time to time.
