Bug description:
  Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.24

  Hy!

  I have a notebook with an integrated rtl8187 based wifi.
  Now I switched to hardy, and I hoping if my wifi now works without ndiswrapper, because the driver is now in the mainline kernel...
  But my problem is still exists :S The link quality of the wifi connection is very poor... I mean, the driver reports the real connection srenght, but my connection LAGGS if I move away from my ap only about 4-5 meters, then if I ping the ap, I got 50% packet loss, and at about 8 meters, my connection unusable, when the driver reports 60% connection srenght... I'm sure my wifi works, because I tested it on window$ and with ndiswrapper, and with they, I got good results, but with ndiswrapper, other problems exists :S

  Thanks for your help!
  ...and sorry because my baad English!
