Since the previous message, I have made some progress. I downloaded the
Realtek driver for the RTL8187b and modified it to build under
2.6.25-rcX. It will report nearby AP's and associate even though the
signal is weak. It fails authentication as it enters some false WEP key
no matter what encryption is used.

I figured out how to make using Windows palatable. I installed
VirtualBox under Windows and created an openSUSE 10.3 virtual machine. I
can use Windows to connect to the wi-fi network, and then the virtual
machine bridges through to the Internet. It is a lot ad-hoc, but it
works. This kludge will work until I can get my laptop repaired.
