ok,
Actually dmesg reports the same as you
phy0: hwaddr f729a040, RTL8187BvE V0 + rtl8225z2
usbcore: registered new interface driver rtl8187
NetworkManager advice taken with thanks.

After running make uninstall and make install a few times, this is the
structure of files I end with in /lib/modules/`uname -r`.
updates
updates/net
updates/net/mac80211
updates/net/mac80211/mac80211.ko
updates/net/wireless
updates/net/wireless/ifcfg80211.ko

updates/drivers/misc
updates/drivers/misc/eeprom
updates/drivers/misc/eeprom/eeprom_93cx6.ko
updates/drivers/ssb
updates/drivers/ssb/ssb.ko
I manually added in to complete it:
updates/drivers/net/wireless/rtl818x
updates/drivers/net/wireless/rtl818x/rtl8187.ko
I am not that familiar with kernel makefiles but it would seem that the
drivers/net/wireless line below is not recursive:
obj-y := net/wireless/ net/mac80211/
ifeq ($(ONLY_CORE),)
obj-$(CONFIG_B44) += drivers/net/b44.o
obj-y += drivers/ssb/ \
drivers/misc/eeprom/ \
drivers/net/usb/ \
drivers/net/wireless/
endif
Anyway, its only a minor thing.
Cheers
