Problems with ndiswrapper after updating to SUSE 11.1

[Ontorius]

Hi, on SUSE 11.0 my integrated WLAN USB Card "rtl8187b" have worked with ndiswrapper. Now, after i have updated to SUSE 11.1, ndiswrapper doesn't load this driver, according to "dmesg": ndiswrapper is loaded but doesn't add the WLAN driver "net8187b".
What have changed during the update to SUSE 11.1 and how can i run my WLAN again?

With kernel 2.6.27, which is used with 11.1, the native driver rtl8187 works
with the RTL8187B. Get completely rid of ndiswrapper and it should work.

I know it works as I did a NET installation on one of my machines using the
RTL8187B.

Very right. It works without ndiswrapper and even more stable than before.
Thanks for advising me.

Just another remark, the wlan connection is more stable, yes, but after using this a while i'm stressed of this very slow internet connection. Sometimes i have to wait 30sec for a simple google page. But sometimes i can even watch IPTV, wierd. I tried everything i know from other posts: disable IPv6, MTU up to 1492, disabled the firewall.
Now, what else could be responsible for my creeping internet?

tried changing the channel on the router ? sometimes interference can cause slowness

I'm writing these posts on Windows, because here i can surf satisfyingly. So the channels doesn't matter in this case.

I know that you are new, but you should be aware that it is not good policy to
"hijack" a thread as you did. First of all, the subject of this thread deals
with ndiswrapper problems; however, you are not using ndiswrapper, which would
make it very difficult for a reader to find the details of whatever fix works
for you. You should have started a new thread.

What you also need to do is read the stickies at the start of the wireless
forum. The one entitled "Getting your wireless to work" has a check list to
follow to find why your network connection is failing.

Your RTL8187B should work. I used the standard openSUSE 11.1 NET install CD to
install 11.1 on one of my laptops using an RTL8187B, thus I know it works.

Once you know the exact point at which your connection fails, start a new thread
and report the data from the stickie's check list.

ok sorry larry...but i thought "if i open a new thread" your answers will be..."there are too many posts with the same plz use search". I got That answers in another forum. then if there are posts talkin about the same wifi card, why dont ask there and we can do a full information post for new people, and they can found an answer quickly. well ill open a new thread with my information.

thanks.
