I suspect you have an rtl8187B. A Linux driver appeared for a while on
the Realtek site. Then for some unknow reason they seems to have
deleted it.
I want to add support for it in the rtl8187 mac80211 driver, but I
have no plan to do it in near future, sorry.
However maybe someone can host the driver appeared on Realtek site. I
have a copy.

If it's suitably redistributable I can put it up on linuxwireless.org
