Alfa AWUS036H, rtl8187 and ndiswrapper

I have a 64 bit system. I try ndiswrapper with WinXp and WinVista 64 bit driver for my rtl8187 chipset and i obtained a kernel panic.
Also i try ndiswrapper with Win7 64bit driver that works in my case only one time (i don't know why). Some information about dmesg

I need to try ndiswrapper because i have a high number of "invalid misc" package that limit my download bandwith to 50kb/s.
I notice that each time i "rmmod rtl8187" and then "modprobe rtl8187" the download bandwith grows up to 600-700 kb/s and the "invalid misc" package are few. After 10-15 minutes the number of "invalid misc package" increase every second and the bandwith return to 50kb/s.
I already try to set different values for rts and frag with iwconfig but i can't resolve this issue.

Thanks in advance to anyone who want to help me.
