CentOS - Jan 2012 - Problems with AWUS036H usb wirless nic under CentOS 6.2

Hi all,

  I have problems with a wireless usb adapter (AWUS036H) under CentOS 
6.2 x86_64 machine. Sometimes, randomly, it loses wireless connection 
and never back. I need to do an ifdown and then an ifup, but sometimes 
works and sometimes not. If I am not wrong this adapter uses rtl8187 
chip ...

  Somebody knows what can I do?? Under Windows 2008 R2 server works 
perfect ...

Thanks.

There is newly built kmod-rtl8187se driver in ElRepo *Testing* 
repository. Check it out.
