Hi, 

plenty of Notebook Computers (e.g. Toshiba) use the RTL8187b chip as a builtin
WLAN controller (USB 0bda:8198). 

Unfortunately, Linux does not support this chip yet. Maybe the differences
between the RTL8187 and the RTL8187b are small enough that minor modification
of the existing RTL8187 driver could make it work with that chip.

regards
