I've noticed running jockey-gtk recently that a driver is being used on
my system, and says: "supported by ubuntu team" for realtek 8180/8185.

After all the 2.6.27-7 recent updates, i've noticed that the wifi was
working without doing a thing. So after checking dmesg I see there's a
kernel driver loaded at boot time that says:

So, is the rtl8187 (rtl8180/85) finally supported out of the box? Looks
like it is ;-)

I've attached an screenshot of my jockey window (sorry, in spanish)
