I can confirm this is still a problem on 15.04:

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 15.04
Release:        15.04
Codename:       vivid
Linux craft 3.19.0-26-generic #27-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 28 18:27:31 UTC 2015 
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Plugging in an "EDIMAX EW-7811Un N150 USB 2.0 Wireless nano Adapter"
using the rtl8192cu default driver leads to a working WiFi device which
will connect to open networks but then silently fail after a few seconds
or minutes. Following http://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes fixes the
issue 100% as far as I can tell so far.

(This was also the case for a Debian 8 Stretch install I tried it on,
and IIRC, I also tried out the dongle on a 4.2x kernel fork I was
compiling in order to get working ath10k/Atheros WiFi drivers and the
dongle did not work by default there, so I guess it's still an issue
upstream?)
