Please post any messages to the wireless list. That way the general
community can learn and participate, particularly when I get it wrong.
The usual reason for the "link not ready" message is that the network
is down. How are you controlling the network? For wireless, that
message can come from the rfkill switch being off; however, that
functionality is not implemented in 2.6.30 for rtl8187.
