<solved>rtl8187 doesn't work in VL light b4

[mutencillo]

I have an alfa network (rtl8187) device, and i can't change my essid (with ndiswrapper because native drivers don't work). I make an "iwconfig wlan0 essid WLAN_57" and my essid says "ESSID:off/any". Any suggestions??

iwconfig detects it, and I can scan networks with iwlist scan, but ESSID remains unchanged.

I can't compile native drivers... it throws a bunch of errors

uname -an
Linux vector 2.6.22.19 #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Mar 21 10:52:39 MDT 2008 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) III Mobile CPU 1000MHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

Any help appreciated.


Great distro btw

Did you try VLWifi from the start menu?

Yes. Finally I downloaded the new kernel and all works fine with kernel driver . Thank you

Very good. Understand you used the alternative "ide" kernel that is included on the install CD?

I downloaded the new kernel from www.kernel.org, and i make the compilation with the default VL config and rtl8187 module support. VL is the perfect distro for run my PIII 1000mhz . Thank you! salu2
