Rtl8187 wireless

Hi,

I am trying to get my inbuilt wireless RTL8187 working. I tried all the instructions at the wiki:

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Rtl8187_wireless

In the wiki it says that:

"If you are on 2.6.23 you have to enable CONFIG_RTL8187 in your kernel-config"

How do I check if this is already enabled in my system? And if not how do I enable it?

BFC

P.S. My Arch system has been synched so everything should be up to date.

In the default kernel config:

CONFIG_RTL8187=m

So it is already there as a module.

Ok great. Thanks.

Is there any easy way I can check this myself? (I just want to make sure I haven't screwed anything up).

 grep "CONFIG_RTL8187=m" /usr/src/linux-2.6.23-ARCH/.config
