This is a good time to change this as I have heard from Realtek that their
RTL8187SE driver that uses mac80211 is running, but not yet stable. When it is,
a decision can be made if it should be in .../rtl818x/rtl8187/ or
.../rtl818x/rtl8187se/.
The new driver will also allow the staging driver to be removed.
