Realtek RTL8187L Wireless LAN Card Driver 1038 for Linux

Date Added: Aug 2009 / OS: Linux / File Size: 2024 KB / Publisher: Realtek

This is an attempt to write somethig that can make rtl8187 usb dongle wifi card on Linux using only opensource stuff.
The rtl8225 radio is supported.

It’s in early development stage so don’t expect too much from it (also use it at your own risk!)
This should be considered just a fragment of code.. using it on your(any) system is at your own risk! Please note that I never supported the idea to use it in any way, so i cannot be considered responsible in any way for anything deriving by it usage.

Anyway for now we have monitor mode and managed mode basically working! This isn’t necessary stable, but seems to work..

This driver is still under development and very far from perfect. It should work on x86, Other archs are untested.

To compile the driver simply run make.

The driver contains also the ieee80211.h and ieee80211_crypt.h from the ieee stack.
Note that for some reasons this stack is NOT the same that will be included in newer 2.6 kernel. I will try to port to this stack as soon as it will have enought features to support 8187 cards.
