Problem with wpasupplicant using nl80211 driver for wi-fi stick with REALTEK 8188 chipset

Hello,
A lot of folks experience problems with wpa_supplicant using nl80211 driver - tha does not work. 
The particular problem is experienced on raspberry pi with wi-fi adapter on Realtek 8188 chipset. 
The syslog shows the following lines:
 wpa_supplicant[1118]: nl80211: 'nl80211' generic netlink not found
 raspbmc wpa_supplicant[1118]: Failed to initialize driver 'nl80211'
 raspbmc wpa_supplicant[1118]: rfkill: Cannot open RFKILL control device

I have tired to modify /etc/wpa_suppicant/functions.sh and remove nl80211 completely from code and leave only wext driver but that does not work. 
Would appreciate any ideas what the problem could be.

OS version: raspbian 3.12.21 

WPA supplicant version: 1.0-3

Thank you for the support.
Sergei.
