Driver rtl8187 handles USB devices - the RTL8187SE is PCI based - thus separate
drivers are needed. I have done a lot of the conversion of a mac80211-based
driver for the RTL8187SE, but ran into a problem where it could transmit small
packets, but fail completely for longer ones. While trying to fix that, I needed
to work on devices that had no Linux driver, and I have not gotten back to it.
