This may be a fedora-specific problem - I noticed that
just after booting into the new fedora kernel
(3.2.2-1.fc16.x86_64), I am getting a strange message from
the kernel:
rtl8187: Invalid hwaddr! Using randomly generated MAC
address
I just checked, and rtl8187 works fine with my RTL8187L
using 3.3-rc1 from
wireless-testing. I don't know where the problem occurs.
Thanks for looking. It is mostly likely a fedora-specific problem then. Unless John has any idea, I'll eventually unpacking the fedora kernel source if the problem persists for another kernel.

P.S. Herton's e-mail seems to have changed.
When I integrated compat-wireless into the Fedora kernels, I
left it using the in-kernel eeprom_93cx6 driver. Apparently some
incompatiblity has krept-in, and several wireless drives stopped
working. I have changed the fedora kernels to use the version of
eeprom_93cx6 now, so the next build should work alright.
John,
Thanks for chasing down this problem.
Larry
