HAve you checked ElRepo third-party reposiroty?
They have ready-made and compatible 3.0.88 kernel, but they also have
kmod packaged drivers for stock kernels. Just go to
http://elrepo.org/tiki/DeviceIDs and check for vendor:device ID pairing
that lspci command will show for your rtl8192cu device.
Btw, RHEL/CentOS kernel is much more advanced then vanilla kernel of the
same numbering because Red Hat backports latest drivers to their kernel.
