[Voyage-linux] RTL8187B Realtek USB Wifi Dongle not assigned a device

[Doug Shawhan]

I am having difficulty getting Voyage to assign a device to my realtek 8187
wifi dongle.

I have installed firmware-realtek from debian backports.

I bought this particular adapter because it is supposed to "just work",
 but so far it's been kind of a wash. Any clues?
