Hi, some months ago I reported some bugs about this chipset; now I tried latest stable compat-drivers (3.9-rc2-2-su) with the modified patch by Jussi Kivilinna, and I'm happy to report that it works with my alfa AWUS036NHR on ubuntu 12.10 with kernel 3.5; The card now sustains multiple connection/disconnection cicles, and doesn't go mute, even after changing mac address. Some problems still remains: -led is always solid, no blinking whatsoever. -in monitor mode, every client appears as not associated, even when it really is. -power/signal strength readings (in networkmanager) seem to be fuzzy, almost inverse; nearest APs have lowest signal representation, while farest ones get strongest signal (this could very well be a networkmanager bug/misrepresentation); signal appears normal when the card is connected (only the reading relative to the connected AP) I know you're probably understaffed and have a lot of work to do, however if you're willing to have a look at this secondary problems (Mr. Finger perhaps), I'm willing to recompile, test and report back to help squash these bugs. I'm attaching a debug=5 log to show my tests. As of now, this chipset/card is usable (signal reading is annoying btw)
Thanks for the report. That patch will be pushed upstream in a few minutes and will be backported to stable withing a few weeks. I am happy to hear that the patch works with your Alfa AWUS036NHR. In my limited testing with that device, it failed to connect. I feared that the RTL8192RU differed from the RTL8192CU.
I know that improper operation of the LEDs and screwy signal levels are annoying, and I will get to them when I can. At the moment, however, I have more important problems to solve.
