:), it finally worked !!!. I had to follow the instructions here
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1522815 but with some tweaks. My
problem was kind of reverse of everyone else's. My card reported a device id
of obda:8192, however it did NOT work with r8192s_usb or r8192_usb drivers.
My card works fine with 8712u. I had the 8712u drivers from before when
Realtek had emailed them to me.

I changed /etc/modprobe.d/network_drivers.conf to contain the following ...
install 8712u /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install 8712u $CMDLINE_OPTS; /bin/echo
"0bda 8192" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/r871x_usb_drv/new_id

and

changed /etc/udev/rules.d/network_drivers.rules to contain the following ...
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0bda",
ATTR{idProduct}=="8192", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe -qba 8712u"

As you can see that I had to trick the kernel into associating 8712u with
0bda:8192. Simply loading 8712u with modprobe didn't do the trick, the above
changes were necessary. Of course I had to blacklist r8192u_usb too.

Thanks all for your help.
