Vista from Linux rtl8187 connection problem

Post by benjsh »

Hi,
I am running 2.2.4 and loading up vista from linux.

If I just connect to a wireless network from the windows connector it says error.

So I go into the Realtek RTL8187 application and connect to my network and it works.
But the problem is it is very unstable and I often gets disconnected and my ping rate is very high compared to linux.
In my network settings I disabled all other network adapters so there is only the usb rtl8187 running so there is nothing it can conflict with.

Anyone know how to get it stable or how I can use the windows connection tool?
There must be some kind of problem since I cant connect via the windows connection tools

I also tried with virtualbox version 2.1.4 and 2.2.2 but problems it all of them.
And now I just installed 2.2.4 and it it is doing the same things :-( it keeps disconnecting me and it svery unstable and I can only connect from the realtek program not from the vista connection manager.

Your profile lists Vista as your host and Slackware as the guest, but your post suggests just the opposite, so I must admit some confusion here. Can you clarify which is which? Also from the statements I have determined that the network adapter is a USB wireless adapter, is this correct as well?
