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.
