It has been quite a few months since I looked at this as well. I remember back then (June?), that I did find some sources to build the driver for the 8192cu, which back then worked quite well. I think I still have the sources sitting on my PC, but it has been awhile since I figured out how to build and install it.
I installed his Debian build, which I really like, but the edimax adapter has dropped a reasonable number of times now. So may try to see if I kept my notes for installing the patched driver, but in the mean time, I ordered one of the *tl-wn722n devices which hopefully will arrive tomorrow. *Sometimes it is easier to punt.
