Found in: https://longjidin.wordpress.com/2010...4-r1-solution/

I tested it and it worked for me , I'm using BT4-R1 and VMWare Workstation 7.1.2

Doesnt work for me. I have the same config as you. BT4-R1 on Vmware 7.1.2 with Alfa AWUS036H via USB. I even tried rebooting, etc. I tried this few times with no luck.

I also tried OP's solution but I got fatal error that r8187 does not exist
root@bt:~# modprobe r8187
FATAL: Module r8187 not found.

Trying to locate r8187.ko
root@bt:~# locate r8187.ko
NONE
root@bt:~# find / -name r8187.ko -print
/lib/modules/2.6.35.4/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtl8187/r8187.ko
root@bt:~#

EDIT: I tried r8187 but I kept getting fatal error that module is not found. I even tried
root@bt:~# modprobe r8187.ko
FATAL: Module r8187 not found.
root@bt:~# modprobe /lib/modules/2.6.35.4/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtl8187/r8187
FATAL: Module r8187 not found.
root@bt:~# modprobe /lib/modules/2.6.35.4/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtl8187/r8187.ko
FATAL: Module r8187 not found.

I'll like to join nitr00 and kindly request devlopers to try and fix this issue.

Thanks.
