For all who have this catchy RTL8187SE wireless adapter which was 'from the staging directory' and caused many troubles I've collected some useful information in case your wlan does suddenly not work anymore (again):
The new kernel 3.15 contains the RTL8180 driver which now supports the RTL8187SE too!
Look here for further information.
The old staging version of this driver was removed.
Look here.
This change leads to the following:
The wlan adapters name has changed: In my case from enp2s0 to wlp2s0 without notice.
If you are using a custom .service file to start your wlan you have to adapt this to make wlan work again.
For all who have changed the driver to wext which was required since wpa_supplicant 2.1-3 can now change back to nl80211 driver.
As the RTL8187SE wireless adapter now is detected and named as real wlan adapter (wlpXsY instead of enpXsY) you also can use dhcpcd@wlpXsY.service again: the wpa-supplicant-hook works.
