Last I checked Andrea Merello hadn't been contributing to his sourceforge 
project for some time.  Here's the link to it:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/rtl8180-sa2400/

But Rosewill - the manufacturer of my rtl8187l usb stick - was still
including his work on their driver CD and the same story goes for the
Realtek driver download website.  I was unable to get his driver to
compile when I tried back in Sept. 08.

Here's my experience and final solution to the RTL8187L troubles I was 
experiencing:

It may not work for your variant of the RTL8187, but it does work for the L 
(assuming you're running Jaunty):
sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-jaunty

Note:  Throughput was not so great - read the thread referenced above
for details.

Finally, thank you Thomas and the System76 team for the awesome and free
"powered by ubuntu linux" sticker that has replaced the Windows Vista
nonsense on my laptop!  Glad to hear you've found a solution to your
rtl8187B chipset issues.
