I second this. Problems with rtc8192cu have been mentioned on this list
before: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg138538.html
I recently saw similar problems in STA mode as well.

Right. Users who need AP or IBSS mode can usually be expected to be able
to change kernel configurations or blacklist modules.

Also we hope that rtl8xxxu will be extended in the future to support
IBSS and AP mode as well! :)
