[Bug 182473] Re: rtl8187 drops connection

[xrgtn]

2 Vit Svarc: thanks for HowTo

my 2c worth:
1. you don't need to do "make" as root (you only need root access for "make install")
2. with CONFIG_IEEE80211_DEBUG=y the ieee80211_rx.c won't compile

P.S. with linux 2.6.27-grsec (2.6.27.10) rtl8187 driver, I had Link
Quality 13 through 16, Signal level:65/65 and frequent connection drops
(under load), while atheros and intel WiFi cards reported Link Quality
about 90/100 and worked OK. Under light load (pair of ssh sessions) the
official rtl WiFi worked seemingly OK.

P.P.S. compiled and installed r8187: it finds many more available APs
than rtl8187 did, almost the same number as Atheros device. The big
problem is that r8187 does not support WPA, so I cannot use it at all.
I'll better return to rtl8187.
