I've got Problems with the "r8187" module, too.

elektranox at sonne:~$ ifconfig wlan0
wlan0     Protokoll:Ethernet  Hardware Adresse 00:15:AF:04:66:25

elektranox at sonne:~$ iwconfig wlan0

Errors:
1. Couldn't set channel
2. ESSID was not insert completly -> can be fixed by inserting one additional letter
