The related patch has already gone upstream on Nov 12 2008, so it should 
be harmless to backport it to intrepid's kernel:

commit f3c769185a28b7947d97b3552a977102c1fac3f2

    rtl8187 : support for Sitecom WL-168 0001 v4

    the Sitecom 0001 v4 with product id 0x0df6:0028, uses Realtek's
    RTL8187B and work fine with new 2.6.27 driver.
