How long have you had this problem? Mine is integrated internally to
the laptop (although logically being on "usb") so physically detaching
the device is not possible. I sync up with compat-wireless every few
days and my problem seem to start about a week ago (during John's
travel? and lack of much commit-activity between 23th and 27th).
I just suspend'ed/resume'd with compat-wireless alright (that unloads
rtl8187, and also obviously does a lot of other things) so some
sequence of unload/reload works, just not manually modprobe -r/-v a
2nd time after make install +make unload +modprobe.
The only thing that changed recently enough is this - but the date is
still too old; unless it is the old git thing where the date is on the
local/private repository and only pushed to wireless-testing recently
- I have no idea how to check when a commit first appears in wireless
testing, vs what the date says?:

mac80211: unify config_interface and bss_info_changed
The config_interface method is a little strange, it contains the
BSSID and beacon updates, while bss_info_changed contains most
other BSS information for each interface. This patch removes
config_interface and rolls all the information it previously
passed to drivers into bss_info_changed.
