The same 8187se driver from Realtek (an older version of it, which had 
subsequently been updated from time to time) was committed to the 
"driver/staging" directory of the kernel tree starting with 2.6.29. There is 
nothing more to do to "publicise the driver". You have been told this at least 4 
times, twice from Larry and now twice from me. It is also the same information 
you would get from the same source you found our e-mail addresses. You have also
been told, now a 2nd time, that the driver, as well as plenty of tips on build 
and configuring, are mentioned and available on various Ubuntu launchpad 
bug/enhancement reports, as well as plenty of online resources.

I was asking you to (1) always CC: a relevant mailing list so that answers to 
frequent and general open-source issues are kept in the mailing list archive and 
available to others, (2) keep your tone appropriate (I am neither your friend, 
nor your enemy) for public exchange. You have failed a 2nd time.

You seem to suggest that people who do not like spam should stop using e-mails, 
or people who do not like physical contacts by complete strangers should walking 
in public places, or should peel off their own skin to remove the trace of 
unwanted contacts. It sounds really absurd.
