I haven't exactly reported the problem : rtl8187 is supported and well detected
as a wireless device (RTL8187_Wireless, wlan0), but this device is configured
with no ciphering.
As my wireless router is only offering WPA TKIP/AES, the authentication fails.
I think that 88E8056 should have been proposed for automatic configuration
rather than RTL8187_Wireless.
A wireless device can't be automatically configured since, at least, SSID,
working mode (managed, ad-hoc...), ciphering type (WEP, WPA, ...), passphrase
or key are wireless parameters which can only be provided by the user.
An other solution could be to provide the guy which allow the user to provide
its wireless configuration. This is nice for laptop with only wireless network
available.
