MSI Wind Wireless Networking with RTL8187SE

I've been asked tons of times on how to get RTL8187SE working on Ubuntu Jaunty, as posted on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6794539, we only need to run 2 commands;

sudo aptitude install rtl8187se-source
sudo m-a auto-install rtl8187se


After reboot, your wireless would be up and running. I've also speculated before that we would need to re-issue the 2nd command every after kernel upgrade. This is untrue since I've been through dozens of upgrades and I didn't find any need to re-issue the said command.

Happy surfing!
