Hacking RTL8187B on Linux

What's the real problem with a new laptop ? the Wireless card ;-) So, since three weeks I work at Tiny and I got a new laptop to work. I installed Ubuntu Hardy but I can't use the wireless card. Why ? It seems that my wireless card is not supported. More exactly the revision of this model is not supported. Yeah ;-) As Google is my friend, I search on Internet and I found a blog with the same issue. Why this article ? To tell "Thank You" to this people ;-) If you have a realtek rtl8187b and that your wireless card doesn't work, you can go to this website: http://briancantin.blogspot.com/2007/11/hacking-rtl8187b-on-linux.html http://www.datanorth.net/~cuervo/blog/linux-on-the-satellite-a215-s7407/
