Maybe a step closer but still not working. I now get this error:

usb 1-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4
usb 1-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
wmaster0: Selected rate control algorithm 'simple'
wmaster0: Failed to initialize wep
rtl8187: Cannot register device
rtl8187: probe of 1-3:1.0 failed with error -12

I've modprobed in the rc80211_simple module and checked that mac80211
and eeprom are in also loaded:

# lsmod |grep |818|arc|ecb"
rtl8187                35200  0
eeprom_93cx6            6016  1 rtl8187
rc80211_simple          7808  0
mac80211              117512  2 rtl8187,rc80211_simple
arc4                    5888  0
ecb                     6656  0
blkcipher               8836  1 ecb
crypto_algapi          13824  2 arc4,ecb


I've read that this problem is caused by the failure to init wep which
is sometimes caused by loading modules in in the wrong order. This is
the order I used:

  638   modprobe  ecb
  636   modprobe arc4
  639   modprobe mac80211
  640   modprobe rc80211_simple
  641   modprobe rtl8187

What am I missing?
