Hi,
What you want to say with "not listed" ?
Now go to problem

I think that you try to use adapter with vmware (maybe i'm wrong), and rfkill switch off rtl8187:
1. Boot your system
2. After 20 sec (+-) plugin your adapter and enable it
3.Open terminal and run all commands one by one:
rmmod rtl8187
rfkill block all
rfkill unblock all
modprobe rtl8187
rfkill unblock all
ifconfig wlan0 up
You will need to do this every time you plugin your card. That is my solution.
