Looks like this is a MiniPCIE card, so the chip is essentially an

adding support for it into rtl818x should not really be a problem.
Clearly you haven't looked at the driver from the vendor... :-)
I have acquired an MSI Wind equipped with this device, I have
multiple variations of the vendor driver to support the hardware, and
I have a datasheet the covers at least some of the hardware involved.
I'm working on it...
If you have it in any useful form, i'll be very happy testing it
on my machine with 8187SE. Is an "OEM" MSI Wind (Positivo Mobo
White 1050), the wireless is working fine with the vendor driver
rtl8187se_linux_26.1023.1118.2008 and kernel 2.6.27.x, but is
very better to have the driver merged in kernel.
Good luck to all of us -:)
