I have a Toshiba L40 15B, with (internal) Realtek rtl8187B wireless USB 2.0, with ubuntu 7.10.

I can load rtl8187 and ndiswrapper, that does not help,
sudo lshw -C network
only shows the wired network card.

KInfoCenter | USB Devices reports EHCI Host Controller (6) - RTL8187B_WLAN_Adapter

Bus 006 shows up twice. I do not have external usb devices plugged in, so the Realtek one has to be an internal one, the wireless, which is a usb one and Realtek. But the number 8197 is different than 8187. Could it be the wireless is not recognized correctly? It's only one number off (8->9).

Could this be the reason wireless does not work?
