There is. Both Linus's tree and wireless-testing support the 8187B. In
fact, I'm using one right now.
As for the contention that it is buggy - I don't find it any worse
than b43, and quite a bit better than p54usb, the two other wireless
drivers that I use. Reports of failures that are posted in the Redhat
Bugzilla cannot be duplicated by me.
