Description zOOm_ER 2008-10-10 08:29:17 UTC
Hardware Environment: Toshiba Satellite L300-110 laptop (with built-in USB wireless card RTL8187b, DEVICE ID 0bda:8198)

Problem Description:
2.6.27 Kernel cannot detect wireless card.

Problem goes out, if in rtl8187_dev.c file i add a line with this card DEVID:
{USB_DEVICE(0x0bda, 0x8198), .driver_info = DEVICE_RTL8187B},
After this done and recompiling module, card works fine(tested it for hours with WEP and without authentication)
