Hi,
I cannot really go into details, but maybe I'm competent enough to make

Final piece of info for the day.
When I ran dhcpcd wlan0, I get
Error, wlan0: timed out
Error, wlan0: lease information file '/var/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-wlan0.info' does

I made significant progress today.
I manually edited the file /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/wireless/rtl8187_dev.c
There is a static structure near the top of the code,
static struct usb_device_id rtl8187_table[] __devinitdata = {
/* Realtek */
{USB_DEVICE(0x0bda, 0x8187)},
I've tried to run through the instructions at
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_rtl8187.
The kernel is configured per that guide, and I get the message:
usbcore: registered new interface driver rtl8187
When I try to run ifconfig wlan0 up, however, I get:
wlan0: unknown interface: no such device

I think I need some more info in /etc/conf.d/net, and need somehow to create
