If you have it in any useful form, i'll be very happy testing it
on my machine with 8187SE. Is an "OEM" MSI Wind (Positivo Mobo
White 1050), the wireless is working fine with the vendor driver
rtl8187se_linux_26.1023.1118.2008 and kernel 2.6.27.x, but is
very better to have the driver merged in kernel.
Good luck to all of us -:)
