 The r8187 driver works properly for the Realtek RTL8187L chipset.  Support for the RTL8187B chipset is under development but is not fully working. See [[r8187b]] for the RTL8187B ieee80211 driver.
-This page only deals with the ieee80211 version of the r8187 driver. For the mac80211 rtl8187 version see the [[mac80211|mac80211 page]].  To understand the differences, see [[install_drivers#mac80211_versus_ieee80211_stacks|mac80211 versus ieee80211 stacks]] write-up.

   * To remove them from system log files, edit /etc/syslog.conf or /etc/rsyslog.conf depending on your system.  Add "kern.!debug" to definition of each file receiving the debug messages.
+Another more radical approach is to comment out the kernel messages in the kernel source code.  This will also mean recompiling your kernel.
+Change net/core/skbuff.c in your kernel source:
+   void skb_truesize_bug(struct sk_buff *skb)
+   {
+         printk(KERN_ERR "SKB BUG: Invalid truesize (%u) "
+                "len=%u, sizeof(sk_buff)=%Zd\n",
+                skb->truesize, skb->len, sizeof(struct sk_buff));
+   }
+   EXPORT_SYMBOL(skb_truesize_bug);
+to:
+   void skb_truesize_bug(struct sk_buff *skb)
+   {
+   (void)skb;
+   //      printk(KERN_ERR "SKB BUG: Invalid truesize (%u) "
+   //             "len=%u, sizeof(sk_buff)=%Zd\n",
+   //             skb->truesize, skb->len, sizeof(struct sk_buff));
+   }
+   EXPORT_SYMBOL(skb_truesize_bug);
+This effectively eliminates the kernel from reporting the SKB BUG messages.
