I am trying to get the wireless card on a Toshiba Satellite L350 to work. The laptop uses a RTL8187b chip but unfortunately with an id of 0bda:8198. I have tried the RTL8187 driver in the 2.6.27-rc1 release. To make the driver accept the card I had to add the productid 8198 to the driver. Now the card is detected and seems to work. I can ping another computer on the network but for some reason the network just stops working after about 6 seconds. There are no errors in the kernel log and if I reconnect with "iwconfig wlan0 essid myNet" the card works again for another 6 seconds. I am starting to suspect that the RTL8187b has a watchdog timer like the RTL8181 that times out? Does anybody have the datasheet for the RTL8187b?
