Hi, i have a rtl8187b (Realtek) in my Toshiba Laptop.

Everything has been working mostly fine do to ndiswrapper :)

now today i was

1. Installing fonts.
2. Removing kde apps left over from kubuntu-desktop
3. Installing Counter-Strike:Source via wine.

now i don't see how this would effect my wireless card.

its working fine via windows right now.

but what happens is i connect(WPA personal, how do i know what WPA i actually am using:confused:)[worked since the beginning], and after locking my PC i when i came back my net was out. and when i try to connect neither of the little WiFi spheres
keep trying but never change, then it goes back to the red X computer icon :(

help?

Other thoughts

is it normal (since its ndiswrapper) for my signal strength to be around 55%?, doesn't seem like its going that slow...
