Upstream has provided me a patch. It it only for the 3.11 kernel as
there have been significant changes between 3.8 and 3.11 to the rtlwifi
drivers. I wasn't given a timeline as to when the patch would be
committed. There was also provided updated firmware.
For those that like me that have never patch a kernel module here are
the steps I took:
As root:
apt-get install linux-source
cd /usr/src
tar -xf linux-source-3.11.0.tar.bz2
cd linux-source-3.11.0
patch -p1 < /path-to/master_patch_09_24.txt
cp /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/Module.symvers .
make clean
make oldconfig
make prepare
make modules_prepare
make SUBDIRS=scripts/mod
make SUBDIRS=drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi
for i in `find . -name '*.ko'`; do cp $i /lib/modules/`uname
-r`/kernel/$i;done;
#make sure to unblacklist the modules if you have blacklisted them and to
blacklist the vendor 8192cu if installed
reboot
To rollback:
apt-get --reinstall install linux-image-`uname -r`

Title:
RTL8192CU continually reconnecting
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
When using the built in rtl8192cu driver, it continually
disconnects/reconnects every couple of seconds making network use
unusable. The proprietary driver works just fine.
