Thread: RTL8187B + ndiswrapper 64 bit

i've been stuck issue months. open source driver rtl8187 has low transfer rate , when transfer files max speed of 300kb/s , if ping router 300ms or so.

haven't been able install 64bit driver using ndiswrapper because computer hangs when so.

here's ouput of lsusb:

code:

$ lsusb  bus 001 device 002: id 0bda:8189 realtek semiconductor corp. rtl8187b wireless 802.11g 54mbps network adapter

any ideas on how solve this?

thanks!

i having same problem same 0bda:8189 device built toshiba laptop - open source driver goes @ 300-500 kb/s when few feet access point.

far have tried:

- different access points see if issue wireless router. access points suffer low speeds.

- turning wpa2 off see if encryption issue (it not).

- ndis wrappers + available windows drivers available rtl8187b chipset @ realtek.com. loaded did not recognize device being present.

- ndis wrappers + windows driver hacked .inf file include 8189 code. driver loaded , said device present checkbox enabling wireless in control gui remained unavailable.

after reading http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...light=rtl8187b rtl8187 id 8197 going try following well:

a) force rate 5 mb/s.

b) request linux driver id realtek via email.

i'll report on whether anywhere. sorry can't offer instant answers i'd glad hear of others find.
