[Bug 459732] Re: wireless internet problem on WG111v3 (RTL8187b)

[Vince McIntyre]

This appears to be fixed for me, after the following upgrades (excerpted
from /var/log/apt/history.log)

Install:
  linux-headers-2.6.32-22 (2.6.32-22.33), 
  linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic (2.6.32-22.33),
  linux-backports-modules-wireless-2.6.32-22-generic (2.6.32-22.13)
  linux-headers-2.6.32-22-generic (2.6.32-22.33)

Upgrade:
   linux-headers-generic (2.6.32.21.22, 2.6.32.22.23)
   linux-image-generic (2.6.32.21.22, 2.6.32.22.23)
   linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic (2.6.32.21.22, 2.6.32.22.23),
   linux-libc-dev (2.6.32-21.32, 2.6.32-22.33)
   linux-generic (2.6.32.21.22, 2.6.32.22.23)
   linux-source-2.6.32 (2.6.32-21.32, 2.6.32-22.33)

There were other upgrades but I doubt they were relevant.

The changelogs were not especially helpful, there was one reference to #567016
which addresses another realtek driver (rtl8192se).

The relevant bit of git history _may_ be here somewhere:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-lucid.git;a=history;f=drivers/net/wireless/rtl818x;h=f0819aaf4948e34a44d9d685615ddee74271cd70;hb=f0819aaf4948e34a44d9d685615ddee74271cd70

In particular, the rfkill patch, at a guess:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-lucid.git;a=commit;h=1abb41521040db929998e107a067879978c3ec9b

Thanks folks!
