Realtek chipsets are like D-Link chipsets. And it is hard to find the 
correct one.

The page at wireless.kernel.org does not list the RTL8188SU chipset. I 
found (somehow) some time ago that the proper driver is the r8712u 
chipset. If you have it installed (which may take a download and copy to 
/lib/firmware  etc. then the ASUS-N10 is recognized and the module 
loaded on insertion. Works like a charm, including when I tested at a 
friend's place where he has an N speed router.

The only place which seems to list and cross-reference all of the 
Realtek chipset variants is here:

https://wiki.debian.org/rtl819x    which is based on, but extends the 
wireless.kernel.org page.

The rtl8192su driver (which is still a work in progress apparently) is 
intended to replace the r8712u driver, and may be worth testing.
