Sorry about the C++ style comments, I meant to fix it, but forgot about
it in the end.

I have now asked the reporter to check the state of rtl8192cu again, 
current state is (with a kernel including my original patch):
- functionality confirmed on an unencrypted network
- WPA2-psk not conclusively tested, it may be out of range for his device.
("EDIT: With my netbook I can get an IP address and use the neighbor's
  unsecured network. Also, the Belkin device reports it at -47 dBm 
  signal strength, but my Toshiba netbook gives it -80 to -83 (which 
  may explain why the Belkin couldn't get an IP address), so there are 
  still some issues to sort.")
- no Oops if his USB ID is compiled into the module, that only happens
  if he tries to inject it into an unpatched kernel with:
  echo -n "050d 2103">  /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rtl8192cu/new_id
  (and I'm reluctant to raise this as potential issue completely, due
  to the tainted kernel condition on his system).

Hopefully he'll answer my further inquiries about the stability of his 
Belkin n300 Micro USB soon.
