Author Update #1 @00010 2010-02-11

As far as I know the kext is 32-bit compatable, but should still run fine in 64-bit mode, it was meant for inter editions of the RTL8187B WIFI adapter, but if you leave you device ID I may be able to help.

Author Update #2 @00010 2010-03-04

Sorry it has been a while since any further development, my main machine went down had to replace it, currently I am running Tiger 10.4.11 on a Power Mac G4 500Mhz AGP Graphics with 240GB of hard disk space and a DVD-RW. So please be patient is you are awaiting support for your particular Device ID.

Field Note #1 @Vlad Popov 2010-02-10

Thanks for your patched kext! But I have a problem: it is not working for my USB Wi-Fi Realtek RTL8187B dongle. I install your kext into /S/L/E - am I right? Or I must use different location? And should I use Realtek USB WLAN Client Utility?
Thanks for your answers.
P.S. I use Snow Leopard 10.6.2 x64.
