I compiled (as part of kernel 3.2.9) the r8712u module.
Comes up OK but cannot take an essid nor a key.
...
There are a couple of bugs in 3.2.6+.
I don't think they have been fixed by 3.2.9.
Check dmesg for a "Badfw size" message.
If you see that, the two attached patches will fix that.
Hi Larry,
Thank you for the patches.
Unfortunately, no cigar:

I tested your iwconfig statement using kernel 3.3-rc5. It worked. Then I
downloaded a fresh copy of 3.2.9 and built it. It also worked. I have no idea
what is wrong on your system, but it appears not to be the kernel, but something
in your user-space tools. My tests were done with openSUSE 12.1.
