Thank you Larry. I successfully compiled the patched driver on a 64 bits system without any error. The driver loads, no freeze when inserting the stick, however, there are a lot of timeout errors, as shown below (the drivers seems to unload itself). That's why I guess a "lshw -C network" does not show the wireless usb network.
