    rtl8187 missing in latest backports?

    Hi All! this is my first post here
    Ok, well, my question is, did anybody try to compile latest backports backports-3.13-rc1-1?
    I have an interface working with chipset rtl8187L (Wifisky).
    I usually run make defconfig-wifi, then make install, and all goes ok (more or less), it compiles&installs modules for rtl8187.
    This time with backports-3.13-rc1-1, after defconfig-wifi, compilation was very fast, only generic modules and few chipsets were compiled, but not the rtl ones.
    Is that normal? where can I get the latest modules for rtl8187?
    Thanks
