You are very welcome. I'm glad to hear that it works for you. That
driver missed the 2.6.39 merge window due to an ASPM problem that
crashed my computer without any possibility of seeing what caused
the blowup. I was somewhat afraid that others would get similar
results even though Realsil did not see the problem.
Right, so I saw the oops below while playing with the driver earlier
but I attribute it to the fact that radio was switched off in the BIOS
(rfkill show said "Hard blocked: yes" for the wireless device). After
changing that I'm running smoothly so far. I'll keep you posted if I see
anything while using it in the next weeks.

Thanks.
Thanks for the dump. I don't think the oops was due to the wireless being 
switched off. It looks as if you do not have the CRDA package installed, thus 
the regulatory domain was not setup correctly. That is a condition I realize 
that I have not tested. As soon as I have a fix, I'll let you know. BTW, if my 
analysis is correct, this bug has been around since 2.6.37 when rtl8192ce was 
merged.
