Can you please tell us which version of RF frontend and MAC processor
do you have?
You can see it in the dmesg output. I need the line where it talks about rtl8225

This is OK. Especially earlier version of the rtl8187 MAC need a quite
long procedure to turn on. It is not symptom of any problem.

Should the scan find a lot of APs or just one ? Are you close to any
AP? If you have other working cards can you please provide us a
indicative measure of AP signal strength? Is it possible that the
sensitivity of the card is not enough to find the AP? on which channel
is the AP?

If the device is a rtl818L, and it is likely to be, since the driver
catches it, then it should work. If it doesn't not then it is probably
a bug. rtl8187B is not supported, but it should not be catched by the
driver (should have different USB id).

Oh, do you have an USB port 1.x or 2.0 ?

Thanks
