Is there anyone working on rtl8187b support, or any institutional
wisdom about this chip?
I recently purchased a Trendnet usb wifi adapter - TEW-424UB HWv3.0.
It shows up as VendorID 0x0bda and ProductID 0x8189, and when opened
has a rtl8187b inside. The drivers from the git wireless-dev branch
do not recognize this device. I added the 0x8189 ProductID to
wireless-dev/drivers/net/wireless/mac80211/rtl818x/rtl8187_dev.c, just
to see if it would work, but this caused a panic when the driver
loaded.
Realtek has a linux driver available at

(see the very bottom), which is based on Andrea Merello's code circa
2005, but this doesn't compile with recent kernels - and incidentally
is painful to cross compile. (I'm building for armv4l).
Any thoughts or insight on how to get this to work?
