Wireless problems get more attention if you post on the wireless forum. You
should also read the stickies at the beginning. They have a lot of useful
information.

Your card is not supported by a built-in Linux driver. The only 8187 devices are
the USB ones - no PCI. Your best option is to use ndiswrapper with the Windows
driver. In the wireless forum, you will find several postings that will help you
set it up.
