I certainly have a device supported by rtl8192su/ r8192s_usb that works
well with:
a5ad703551efb108ba012b4b8a830d93 /lib/firmware/RTL8192SU/rtl8192sfw.bin
Therefore it would be very interesting to find out what exactly the kernel/
module says when loading rtl8192sfw.bin and which exact device you're using
(the model doesn't really tell anything), for me it is:

...and it certainly works well (your output will be a lot more verbose, as
I'm preparing/ using some patches to tune down the excessive function
tracing).

Here starts the big problem, where does RealTek offer that firmware (and
not random 3rd parties) and where the license for that firmware images?
When I looked for a matching firmware (what led me to #579694), I couldn't
find rtl8192su_linux_2.6.0002.0708.2009.tar.gz from any official source,
and those obtainable from shady sources didn't include any license for the
firmware.
