I am planning on adding code to control the LEDs on the RTL8187 devices based on

What number of files in a driver make it advisable to create a separate
directory? Between the rtl8180 and rtl8187 drivers, there are now 15 files and I
will be adding at least 2 more. Is this the time to create a rtl818x directory
under drivers/net/wireless?

Yes.  It should have been done long ago -- I had them all in
drivers/net/wireless due to my own misinterpretation of the policy
in the past.
