Fedora Networking :: How To Install RTL8187 Driver
Jul 19, 2009
I just installed Fedora today And man I am impressed, good bye buggy Vista hello Reign. I have the linux driver that came with my adapter software disc. Is that one compatable with core11? If so how do I install it using yum, have been unsucessfull so far. It is for the alfa AWUS036H, RTL8187 chipset.

When I try to load the Realtek 8187 modules to kernel using the ./wlan1up command, I get the following error:
[root@localhost rtl8187_linux_26.1025.0328.2007]# ./wlan1up
insmod: error inserting 'ieee80211_crypt-rtl.ko': -1 File exists
[code]...
Can someone tell me how to correct the "Invalid module format"? I hope that correcting the "Invalid module format" error, I will not have the "Unknown symbol in module" error.
Note: I am using wlan1 for this module as I previously am online with the wlan0 network.The same error occurs if I use ./wlan0up.

I am fairly new to Linux and have been striking hassles with my AWUS036H (RTL8187) under Debian Lenny. The standard (built in) driver works but reception is pathetic compared to the same card under Backtrack 4 or even Windows 7. I have tried to build drivers which I got from the Alfa website, the Realtek website and also the Linux Wireless project page. All of them fail during Make with an Error 2. I don't have the error in front of me (had to go back to Windows for the moment) but it is identical to the one this guy gets:
darkReaction:/home/georanson# cd /home/georanson/Desktop/Downloads/ndiswrapper-1.52
darkReaction:/home/georanson/Desktop/Downloads/ndiswrapper-1.52# make
make -C driver
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/georanson/Desktop/Downloads/ndiswrapper-1.52/driver'
Makefile:35: *** Cannot find kernel version in /lib/modules/2.6.18-6-686/build, is it configured?. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/georanson/Desktop/Downloads/ndiswrapper-1.52/driver'
make: *** [all] Error 2
I get the error 2 code and the reference to "kernel version".

I have Ubuntu 9.10. My USB WG111v3 Wireless Card uses the rtl8187 driver. This driver is buggy. I would like to use Ndiswrapper instead. How to make it so Ubuntu doesn't load the rtl8187 driver but Ndiswrapper instead?

OK, after searching several dozen posts I still have no clear answer to a problem connecting to the internet with my Alfa AWUS036H Wireless USB adaptor. (Computer is an Aspire 5516 w/ AMD Athlon 64 processor)The device shows up in the network manager, (with great signal strength on many local AP's)and works well with Aircrack for security testing, which is why I got it in the 1st place. However my onboard Antheros wifi card just does not receive as well, thus I'd like to be able to use the Alfa for internet. Any thoughts here would be appreciated.

When I try to set my Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8187 Wireless Adapter to master mode I get the following error.
Code:
$ sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode master
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument. Is this the result of a driver or hardware incapability?

This is wireless adapter: [URL]... USB/Detail.bok I have 2 AWUS036H Wireless USB adapter that uses the RTL8187 Chipset connected to a USB 2.0 Port. It is very slow when I try to go to websites or download anything using Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx. The max speed I can get out of it is 135 Kilobytes per second when downloading anything. But when I am on Windows I can max out 2.6 Megabytes per second. I have been trying to find a solution but have found none. When I look at the light on the wireless adapter and compare it to what it looks like on both Ubuntu and Windows. It seems that the wireless adapter light is dimmer on Ubuntu. So I was thinking it was txpower set very low. I changed it but no success on changing speed. I am using WPA2-PSK which obviously uses AES. I have also tested it while it is in WEP and when it is Open with no change in speed. Speed results Ubuntu 10.04: Speed results Windows 7: I changed the settings to Megabytes on those speed results.

this isnt happening on ubuntu but I think this is more or less a kernel problem that could happen with any flavor. After a new install off of a live cd my wireless card is not picking up any signals...i was able to use wireless while using the live cd but now after it has been isntalled to the hard drive it is not working. even tried in terminal to manually look (iwlist wlan0 scan) but it isnt picking up the signal

I buy a new usb network adapter (Through DX), when I try to use it in ubuntu or BackTrack4 Final it is working, and connecting networks even with WPA encryption. But after few minuts it stops working totally. It is showing that I'm connected to the AP but web sites do not respond.
Notes:
- I have another PCI Wireless adapter which works fine.
- The problematic adapter works great on windows.
- A driver CD came with it, including a linux driver which I wasn't succesfully installed.
- A BackTrack3 Disc came with it, claming by the instructions that the adapter will work with it. I didn't try it because i have backtrack 4 final.
It took me dozens of surfing the web hours, and too many restarts,

I have ALFA awus036h wireless usb card which uses rtl8187 driver. after connecting it to my fedora13(64) machine and adjusting wicd preferences to enable wlan1 , i get the card connected to my wireless network, but actually cant browse any web site( the browser keep saying : looking up www.......), also PINGing return nothing. i tried handling the card using the built-in driver (kernel 2.6.33.6) and the driver shipped with the card, but both gave me the same result.

When I first turn it on to the desktop, it automatically connects and disconnects automatically 5 times then sometimes it would disconnect a few times randomly out of the blue.
This ia an external single usb wireless adapter you plug in the usb port on my desktop tower.

Rhythmbox crashed and my radio stations disappeared. I'm not sure if this bears any relation.

It's my first time trying out a Linux and everything is going great except for my networking. I just recently purchased a wireless usb adapter 802.11n and I tried to install the driver from the cd it came with, but when I read the readme file it said it only supports up to kernel versions 2.6.18 ~ 2.6.29. Since I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 my kernel type is 2.6.32.25. Does anyone know if there are any updated versions of similar drivers online? or do I have to return this wireless adapter and get a different one?

I downloaded my linux wireless driver (realtek 8191se), but I don't know how to install it because there is no .exe file(like windows). It has a readme file which says :
"You can enter top-level directory of driver and execute follwing command to Compile, Installation, or uninstall the driver:
0. Change to Super User sudo su
1. Compile driver from the source code make
2. Install the driver to the kernel make install reboot"

I am trying to install an Asus USB-N13 USB Wireless Networking stick on an Intel-chip laptop loaded with Debian squeeze release. I have built a driver (rt3070sta.ko) and the "insmod rt3070sta.ko" seems to have worked fine. I can see the driver with "ifconfig ra0" and I can set an ip address with "ifconfig ra0 inet...".HOWEVER: 1: The gnome network manager doesn't see any wireless networks to connect to.2: If I try "ifconfig ra0 up" I get "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not permitted"I am doing this from a root window and my login has root privileges. I'm missing a last step - what is it?

I have installed backtrack 3 on vmware workstation. I would like to install a TP-link TL-WN650G wireless card(atheros based - AR5005GS) onBacktrack because that it supports packet injection. Backtrack doesn't automatically recognize the device so I need to install the driver, I have done some research and found I needed to install the driver 'madwifi-old'(ieee80211 version) from here..http://aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=madwifihttp://madwifi-project.org/However I have no idea how to install them from inside backtrack, so if someone knows please let me know.
