I'm running an AMD64 Hardy daily livecd and after plugging in my trusty Realtek 8187 USB wireless interface (which worked perfectly under Gutsy) the kernel refuses to load the rtl8187 driver.

dmesg shows:
[ 745.940633] usb 7-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5

Trying to load every "ieee80211*" module didn't help...
