This should go to <linux-wireless@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Try:
# modprobe rtl8192cu
# echo "0bda 819a" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rtl8192cu/new_id
# dmesg (see output)
Please install the attached patch, and retry the above method. I fixed the probe
function to get rid of the oops. If the device is really foreign, the process
that writes new_id will not finish until the device is unplugged; however, the
rest of the system is chugging along.
If 0bda:819a works with rtl8192cu, let me know, and I'll update the USB device
table.

Subject: [PATCH V2] rtlwifi: rtl8192cu: Fix NULL dereference BUG when using
new_id
To: linville@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Cc: netdev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
When the new_id entry in /sysfs is used for a foreign USB device, rtlwifi
BUGS with a NULL pointer dereference because the per-driver configuration
data is not available. The probe function has been restructured as
suggested by Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>.
