Ubscenez this patch is not the solution and what the hell is wrong with the spam guard OMG

well it would have been better if there were some instructions as to how to use this patch, when i tried with the commands used for earlier patches, it came up with some error.

This driver by realtek compiles in 2.6.31 and 2.6.32 but it still needs patching to make it fully compatible with networkmanager for internet use.

Where you find this driver? Injection do not work.. You test it with injection? check dmesg when you try

[jeromepoulin@…]

Even with the new 2.6.31 patch, 2.6.32 panic's when starting to transmit. airodump-ng will work then using aireplay-ng --test or fakeauth or anything that transmits instantly panics the Kernel.

[evilsocket@…]

Same panic here with 2.6.32 upon injection testing .

[jeromepoulin@…]

rtl8187_2.6.32.patch - This obsoletes ng-2.6.31 patch which crashes on 2.6.32 when injecting. Tested on clean install, apply 2.6.27 then 2.6.32 and everything works from highpower to badcrc.
