# ls /lib/modules/2.6.24-21-generic/ubuntu/wireless/rtl8187-usb/
ieee80211 rtl8187
it is a driver for rtl8187 and rtl8187b but not for rtl8187se
it has the same module name with ieee80211 on 8180 driver
so the module cannot load automatically even after copying to
/lib/modules/2.6.24-21-generic/kernel/driver/net/wireless
because it will load different ieee80211 modules...
anyone notice this folder ???
