I just found that my RTL8187B doesn't work with the current wireless-testing 
either. I don't know why I thought otherwise earlier. If I do a 'git checkout 
d61f20889de4978ed8', which is my patch to change the detection of early 8187B, 
then it works fine. I'll do a bisection to see if my system agrees that the wext 
power patch is the problem.

I'll let you know what I find.
