Thank you very much for the link.
It works after the suggested mod.

Problem I found is that this driver does not seem to mesh
with the linux wpa_supplicant client, so it ends up
associating with the AP with OPEN (i.e un-encrypted) mode.
Which is very strange because my AP is configured with
WPA2-PSK and AES encryption. So, I have no idea how this
wireless dongle can associate with the AP.
However, if I leave it be for about 30 minutes or more, it finally
changes the association from OPEN to WPA2_PSK with encryption.

I also learned that the driver from realtek (which is what I downloaded,
and modded according to the link you provided), produces the module
r8712u.ko , which contains support for several chipsets, including the
RTL8192[SU]_USB.

Thanks again for the link. I will keep it around in case I
run into people who are trying to make it work.

Cheers,
