I have a awus036h (Alfa) wireless usb adapter, which uses the rtl8187

Linux 4.0.7-v7+. It sometimes works for some time, but will always
eventually crash, bringing the whole network down. I already upgraded
from 3.18, where I had the same issue. I also tested it by connecting
it to a Linux vm in VMware Fusion running Ubuntu 15.04 with kernel
3.19.0-21 and got the same Oops, so it is not a problem just confined
to the raspberry or the arm architecture.
What was the architecture of the host machine that was running that Ubuntu VM?
Where are you getting driver 8192cu that is shown in the module list below. If
you were using the one that has been built into the kernel since 2008, it would
be named rtl8187. I have used that driver extensively on x86 and x86_64
architectures, both in x86 hosts and VirtualBox VMs and I have never seen this
problem.
