If you keep dropping the Cc'd recipients, I will not answer your Emails! Note, I
also included linux-wireless here.
I do not care what distribution you use. I can use any. As the driver from the
Realtek web site
(ftp://WebUser:wK9xBuD5@202.134.71.21/cn/wlan/RTL8188RU_linux_v3.0.2164.20110715.zip)
is only for kernel 2.6.38 or later, it would be better if I had a kernel that
new; however, I could backport the system to an older one if necessary.
As I downloaded the Realtek driver while composing this Email, I need to look at
the driver before making any commitment.

When I looked at the driver, it turned out to be the driver for the RTL8192CU
with new additional device IDs. Please try the attached patch for any 2.6.39 or
later kernel. Meanwhile, I will see what other changes have been made to the driver.

This is a ping on the previous mail. Did the patch work?

I hate to nag, but I cannot push this patch upstream and make it available to
others until you tell me that it works.

I was not in Germany for some days and had no time. I will test that
next hours. Sorry for waiting.

Yesterday my HDD i took to test everything with dies and i have to get
an other one...
I added the two lines with the usb id's and the driver load fine and
see networks. Also monitor mode and injection is working fine.
The build in networkmanager from ubuntu 11.10 Alpha 2(with an "apt-get
update && apt-get upgrade") does not connect to the wpa2 network i use
at home. I think the problem would be the networkmanager. I just
wonder why the adapter is named now "Obda ALFA AWUS036NHR" - why obda
and what is obda?
Thanks for adding the usb-id's and the name into the driver :)
