The reference driver does not use product id alone. See below, it also
tests EPROM_SELECT_GPIO. I don't know if this is sufficient, but as the
driver comes from Realtek I would presume that the detection is correct.
At least they have the documentation for full EEPROM register map and
such. I haven't got the time to test the reference driver yet, but
EPROM_SELECT_GPIO could just be the difference between our chipsets.

The driver is attached to my previous email to the list.
It should be newer than yours (1055):
rtl8187B_linux_26[1][1].1055.1102.2009.release.tar.gz
