I have an onboard rtl8187 wireless usb chip which I want to disable but which cannot be disabled from bios. I added 'blacklist rtl8187' to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist but the module still loads. Any ideas whereelse to check?

from /boot/config-2.6.24-1-amd64
CONFIG_RTL8187=m

network-manager not installed

Debian sid kernel: linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64 (version2.6.24-4)
