RTL8187B has worked fine under Ubuntu for at least three years.
I created an OpenSUSE 12.2 GNOME Live USB yesterday. I booted the Live USB, and the card worked fine after two connexion attempts.
Once I booted into the new installation, something was different: there was no networking widget, and the system failed to use the card it had used before.
Ask for more details if needed. Thanks!

The RTL8187B has worked in the Linux kernel since mid-2008. That means it works
in ALL versions of openSUSE since then. It certainly works in 12.2.
Please post the output of ‘lsusb’, ‘/usr/sbin/iwconfig’, and ‘sudo
…usr/sbin/iwlist scan’.
