[Bug 254438] Re: realtek RTL8187B wireless card does not work properly. Loss of speed, Range, Reliablity.

[pcgaldo]

I also have the Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8187 Wireless Adapter and
it doesn't works after update to Lucid.

It works in Karmic and in Lucid, using the 2.6.31-21 kernel.

With the 2.6.32-22 and the 2.6.33-02063303 kernel versions it fails and
looking to the syslog, it seems to be switched off:

May  3 21:56:20 my-laptop kernel: [   19.041398] rtl8187: Customer ID is 0x00
May  3 21:56:20 my-laptop kernel: [   19.041454] Registered led device: rtl8187-phy0::tx
May  3 21:56:20 my-laptop kernel: [   19.041473] Registered led device: rtl8187-phy0::rx
May  3 21:56:20 my-laptop kernel: [   19.043255] rtl8187: wireless switch is off

My laptop doesn't have a physical switch to control the wireless device.

I found a kernel bug that could be related to this problem:
