Do we need to dig those out and redirect them to 2.6.31?
Not sure why you're adding me -- its most likely just the driver not transmitting or receiving correctly.
Just thought you might have some insight -- didn't we just deal with this in w-t?
Looks like those issues were fall-out from some other changes, probably not at play here... okias, could you do a git bisect from 2.6.30 to 2.6.31-rc5 to try to narrow-down the problem? There are a handful of changes in drivers/net/wireless/rtl818x but none of them look immediately obvious as culprits to me.
It is most important for the OP to bisect the problem. On v2.6.31-rc6-223-g6c30c53, both my RTL8187 and RTL8187B work perfectly, thus I cannot confirm this problem. What encryption is being used? Mine is using WPA2/TKIP.
While testing openSUSE 11.2 Milestone 5, I did see a similar problem. When I unplugged/replugged the RTL8187B, then it worked. Can you unplug your device? If so, does that make it work?

This sounds like one of the mysterious problems I reported a while ago, and also seems to be about of the same time frame - I couldn' t switch from compat-wireless to compat-wireless, but had to switch back to as-shipped modules first.
