Andrea,

In the case of the RTL8187SE driver, you only have three chips to deal with, two 
of them are already in the driver, 802.11g devices are rather simple, and it is 
extremely unlikely that any new devices will be added. For those reasons, I 
think it is appropriate to make a combined driver. As there has been quite a bit 
of testing on the current version, my vote is to stay with it.

I will test the latest revision soon. I'm not sure my laptop will hibernate, but 
I will test that operation if I can.

Larry
