Buggy Realtek Drivers

Anyone know of any more recent drivers than 5313 circa 2008 for realtek 8187 usb radio chip. Ones I have are buggy as hell. Only thing I could find was 3rd party ones that work only under linux; using xp on this box.

Thanks I found the link but am guessing that my alfa radio is single chip b/g. I don't think there's anything in the manual that gives the exact number of the chipset; don't recognize anything in the download link, except that my radio I think is b/g not not b/g/n. Other ones look like they are for Mac computers?

They are b/g . I have one. From my link: (enable javascript at realtek)

You have to decide what your chipset is. RTL8187L or 8187B. Both drivers are dated 8th Feb 2011 Sure it's not an old RTL8185L ? Dated 25th Jan 2010.

Check out the hardware info in hardware manager and google it.

I also have an old RTL8180, also b/g, but an almighty PITA to configure under linux. This one was last updated in 2005.

If it's an Alfa B/G then the chipset will be 8187L

I've used these adpters for years with XP Pro and Home and had no problems - provided you use the Realtek application to manage the adapter.

If you try using Windoze to manage the chipset then you are asking for trouble.

I had an Alfa awus036H for a couple of years and then it died. I got a cheaper clone,

and it only lasted about 6 weeks and it has died. I don't know why I'm having these problems. Seems to be the same problem with both, the computer doesn't even recognize that the USB cable has been plugged in. Now I see the Alfa is down to $25.00, $3000 with shipping, I'll get another. Mikek
