Have a look there for the drivers -->
http://code.google.com/p/msi-wind-linux/downloads/detail?name=rtl8187se_linux-04.tar.bz2&can=2&q=
You are going to have to compile from source but that should no pose any
issue at all. 
Have a look at this post as well -->
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta/+bug/246141

The KP (freeze) could be explained by the fact that there is no native
support in the kernel for the rtl8187se chip. 

let me know how you get on

Kind Regards
