Hello,

I have a asus motherboard which the realtek chip onboard. On the realtek
site I found an installable driver, however the correspondig utility can not
be installed :>

Also note that under XP the actual driver utility combination, is unusable
to me sincer it does not support WPA2 with AES + TKIP.

So hopefully someware there is a working beta.
 
I have the same probblem. I downloaded the 64 bit driver but it still
didn't work. Keep getting the following error.

Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be
corrupted or missing. (code 39)

I would greatly appreciate it if someone comes across a driver that
works or a solution to the error would let me know. Thanks.
 
Hello,

Not sure if this helps you, but be aware that there is a firmware update for
the RT8187 add on board available at Asus. You should definitly install that
update to get a driver installed.

Be aware this IS NOT related to my problem. I had installed that update
already. Also see extrat from asus support mail below

Sincerely,

extracted from asus support mail:

Sir, please click windows Start->RUN and input MSCONFIG. In the Startup
item, disable the boot up application as possible as you can(it means disable
the most items, like firewall or antivirus tools), then confirm and reboot
system. Test again. If not helpful, please download the latest driver from
asus official website to have a
test:ftp://dlsvr01.asus.com/pub/ASUS/misc/wireless/Realtek/RTL8187Update.zip

Louis,

Thanks for the info but it didn't help. I wrote to Realtek about a
Vista driver for the 8187 adapter and received a reply that they are working
 
Ooops. Right page, wrong driver version. Under RTL8187L, that should be
"Auto installation program (supports Vista 64 and Vista)" version 6.1281
(2007/2/5).

Or it could be, under RTL8187B, version 6.1089 (2007/8/15).

I guess you have to figure out whether your device is RTL8187L or RTL8187B.
