Talking about the staging driver in kernel 2.6.35/ 2.6.36 (rtl8192su/
r8192s_usb, I didn't test rtl8712 from {linux,staging}-next yet),
RTL8188S [1] and RTL8191S [2] hardware works quite well for me with
stock wpasupplicant 0.6.10/ 0.7.3 (Debian/ unstable, no hardware
specific patches and using the plain wext backend and no special
configuration). While it takes a little to authenticate succesfully
(20-30 seconds), I have not experienced any problems yet.
Looking at the bundled wpa_supplicant-0.5.10.tar.gz (from
rtl8192su_linux_2.6.0003.0810.2009.tar.gz shipped on the vendor's
driver CD) confirms that its MD5 matches the upstream wpa_supplicant
tarball:
