Comment 100 for bug 246141

I've noticed running jockey-gtk recently that a driver is being used on my system, and says: "supported by ubuntu team" for realtek 8180/8185.

After all the 2.6.27-7 recent updates, i've noticed that the wifi was working without doing a thing. So after checking dmesg I see there's a kernel driver loaded at boot time that says:

So, is the rtl8187 (rtl8180/85) finally supported out of the box? Looks like it is ;-)
