I believe this module causes network-manager to panic, randomly preventing a 
reboot or halt.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. N/A
2. N/A

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Just wondering if it's working for RTL8192CU, instead of 8188CUS?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
RTL8192CU, Ubuntu 13.04, kernel 3.8.0-26-generic

WLAN Adapter

I have always had to edit the Realtek driver to add the device ID of my WNA1000 
USB dongle, which for some reason was never included in the driver... Since 
13.04 came around, I could no longer compile my edited version, but I found you 
DEB with fixes for the later kernels. As expected, however, my WNA1000 USB 
dongle did not work upon installation.  Thus, I set out to modify your deb so 
that the WNA1000 USB dongle was also supported.

The result is attached. I followed this guide for unpacking and repacking the 
DEB: http://ailoo.net/2009/06/repack-a-deb-archive-with-dpkg-deb/

The ONLY file I have edited is this: 
usr/src/rtl8192cu-tjp-1.6/os_dep/linux/usb_intf.c
The only edit in that file is the addition of:
    {USB_DEVICE(0x0846, 0x9041)},//WNA1000
At the end of the /****** 8192CUS Dongle ********/ section.

Upon repacking, the deb installed, and my USB dongle worked.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Install the deb, and add following into /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file
# Blacklist native RealTek 8188CUs drivers
blacklist rtl8192cu
blacklist rtl8192c_common
blacklist rtlwifi

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Want to see the interface via ifconfig command, but get only lo and eth0:

Thank you

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install Ubuntu 13.04 i386 Desktop without any networking connectivity
2. attempt to install this .deb
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
disclaimer: have almost no knowledge of Ubuntu
Ubuntu Software Centre shows
rtl8192cu-tjp-dkms
rtl8192cu-tjp driver in DKMS format

Dependency is not satisfiable: dkms (>=1.95)

version: rtl8192cu-tjp-dkms 1.6
total size: 5.5MB when installed

I solved this by installing DKMS first (probably obvious to experts; not to me 
:-)

1. Browse to
   http://linux.dell.com/dkms/
2. From this page, download the latest stable DEB
   http://linux.dell.com/dkms/permalink/dkms_2.2.0.3-0_all.deb
   Save to a convenient location.
3. Installing this through Ubuntu Software Centre didn't work; the install 
button would never become available. Instead,
   a) open a Terminal window
   b) switch to the root context by entering the following command:
      sudo bash
      provide the administrator password when prompted.
   c) initiate installation by entering the following command:
      dpkg -i dkms_2.2.0.3-0_all.deb
4. You can now install this .DEB; I couldn't install using Ubuntu Software 
Centre, but successfully installed from a Terminal window;
   a) open a Terminal window
   b) switch to the root context by entering the following command:
      sudo bash
      provide the administrator password when prompted.
   c) initiate installation by entering the following command:
      dpkg -i rtl8192cu-tjp-dkms_1.6_all-OBY.deb
   d) the process typically takes 1-3 minutes. 
5. When complete, restart
6. Connect to the WiFi network.

Please provide any additional information below.

NB the .DEB works perfectly for me; this is merely an enhancement request for 
the installation instructions, particularly for newbies.
